[quote=Anonymous]If you want solid protection against deer then you need a 6-7 ft fence, but something is better than nothing. I use deer-repellent sprays and it’s a PITA to keep up with the schedule but I’ve had good luck. You have to avoid spraying before harvest though.
If you’re just starting out then purchase the plants. It’s much easier and the seedlings are not that expensive. Home Depot and Lowes will have plenty. MOM’s also has great vegetable starter plants. If you want even more varieties you can go to a nursery like American Plant or Homestead Gardens.
I have reused my containers for many years now. I just top off with fresh potting mix and add new fertilizer every year. I like Osmocote slow-release granules. 
I gave up growing zucchini and squash because they always got destroyed by vine borers and I was not willing to use chemicals. The squashes with solid stems are supposed to resist borers better: tromoncino and cucuzzi, but they are vines and need plenty of room to grow.[/quote]
