Seed starting day is finally here...

I don't mind the deer herds coming in the yard, they just have to respect the garden. I usually seed the borders of the wooded areas with bulk radish seed and other lush yummies that keep the deer occupied. Plenty of wild blueberry and blackberry bushes around the property and surrounding area to also keep them happy. Just a basic 6' t-pole wire fence setup seems to keep them away (at least so far). Bear are a different story, a flimsy fence wouldn't keep them out, but luckily they mostly only go after trash cans in the surrounding subdivisions. I've lost a few bird feeders to them, only to find the feeders weeks later deep in the woods and mangled.
