MGM,

Great looking plants ya got there!  I would think that the wire mesh around all the plants should discourage the turkey and deer.

How do you plan on harvesting the tomatoes through the wire netting?  How big is each square on the wire netting?

Thanks for your help.

I thought I was SO SMART putting up the wire the first year till a tomato started getting ripe. It took me 2 hrs to cut out squares to get my hands inside to get them.
WHAT WAS I THINKING.  hehe Grin

you are so right. The +s took a while to do. I should have used bigger wire. But I just used what I had at home.

Just a hint, for jobs like that, or to use as a hacksaw, go to Habor Freight and get an angle grinder and get cutoff discs. It does the work, not your  achey arthritic fingers. I love them.
