I live in Northern Westchester, NY and have a raised vegetable garden with a 40 inch plastic, mesh fence around it to keep various wildlife away from my crops. This seems to have worked quite well over the last two seasons with minor infringements that haven't worried me too much. Like a lot (all) vegetable gardeners I'm thinking about building another raised bed away from the main one to grow more tomatoes next season. Question is, do you think I could get away with not having a fence as I don't think the foliage is attractive to animals. If raccoons and squirrels eat the odd tomato that doesn't bother me and obviously a fence is no obstacle to them anyway. Any comments will be welcome. I've added a view of my garden from early in the summer just for interest.
