Okay, scroll ALLL the way down to the very most end of the screen and there is a sister board that Nifty has called TheEasyGarden you're going to love that! For the most part it is alot of us BYCers that are there too!
Okay, I'm going to post what I do not have much critter problems with...but rather, just watch the insect world. I think thats really what your looking for anyway. All peppers (bell, hot, sweet), squash, cucumbers, potatoes, tomatos, eggplant, garlic, radish, okra, zucchini and most herbs. The exception is during drought conditions when animals are really hungry.
Critter problem crops: corn (raccoons and deer eat right off the stalk), watermelon (coyotes) yes, its true, bean and peas (rabbits and deer, can make it look like a lawnmower ran over it), lettuce, spinach, turnip greens (rabbits and deer).
I've tryed the scents, they do help but you MUST be persistant on reapplications. The very best defense to deer that I have found is running a strand of thin white string on posts and hanging white plastic grocery bags on them. True. The flapping in the wind, unusual object keeps them out for a few months. Look really closely to the background of this pic of the white bags.
