We fenced in the entire back of our property with 6 ft fencing so we could grow anything we want. There are only a few thing they will not eat even when hungry. I would not put in a veggie garden without adding a fence if you have deer. To them it's just a new cafe' in town.

When planting the front yard we would set the new plant out where we wanted to put it but not in the ground and leave it for a few days. If they didn't nibble on it we'd plant it. Still sometimes they ate it later.

Most of the front yard is natural grasses and deer proof (to some degree) plants. Compared to the backyard which looks like this.
