Hi there everyone,
I have raised bed gardens which are great because they do help repel the most troublesome of catepillers, etc. but they put the food at eye level for rodents and cats. I love herbs, and so does my cooking and olfactory sense, so I wondered...aside from chemical repellants or a fence, which encloses all but one older bed, are there some especially good herbs which will keep the large rodents and cats from getting any indellible urges? If so, which work best, are least invasive, and--dare Ii ask--are perennials or, if they mostly fit into the first two categories, I would love to know how to keep the critters from crawling on my potential food and, worse still, devouring it for a midnight snack! Thanks ever so much!

Sincerest Thanks,
Thor
