The yin yang of your farm friends eating your crops. My NW Washington State area is over populated, ( IMHO ), with blacktail deer. They will eat anything vegetation once and most anything repeatedly. With HOA fencing restrictions it becomes a bit of a chess game planting and protecting vegetation from the deer. Our State fish and game agency is the sole legal manager, ( owner ? ), of the deer, making any population control or mitigation effort by private property owners punishable. I do enjoy their presence and work with them as best I can. I have a dear friend sports writer who keeps telling me when visiting "vegetables are what food eats".
It's possible. Requires HOA approval. No fences over 3' in front yards and no more than 6' in back yards, ( usually a golfing fairway ), and gates must be provided to find errant golf balls.

Garry, you could erect a very minimum structure greenhouse, that "just by coincidence" also keeps the deer out.
