I spotted rabbits in my patch this year. I am sure that they were also responsible for nibbling on some (non-AG) pumpkin blossoms. I was thinking of a fence for my small patch. Any suggestions? How high would it need to be? How deep would it need to be to prevent digging under? What size wire mesh should I use? Of course, none of the answers to those questions will keep out the squirrels. But, first things first.

Thanks,
