"Pish-tosh" as they say. (WHO says that?)
At any age, doing something is better than not doing anything. You might consider a nearly waist-high raised bed, to make it easier to manage. Nothing keeps our spirits up better than a garden, so long as it is reliably protected from varmints.

I do appreciate everyone's sympathy, support and suggestions.
Raised beds are one idea we've had, if we could find someone
to build them, but that's a really big project and at my age may
not be worth the effort.
As for the blue ribbons, Kitty, I had 13 out of my 29 entries in our
flower show last month - and I was in competition with myself in
several of the classes.  Of course I enjoy winning them, but they
are no novelty.

Focus on those early blue ribbons, Auralie.
Hmmmm....I do wish you lived near here and I could set you up with my friend Art. Set up as in working together. If you're going to garden successfully 
in your locale, I think you need more than fencing.  Art would build you
some primo raised beds, probably lined at the sides AND bottom with hardware 
cloth. Next comes real fencing and at the top would be angled  pieces that
keep deer out.
Considering what you have to contend with, you can't mess around w half
measures.  Make a plan.  Build it and they will come. And they'll be very
surprised
