Welcome to NGA, Ed ( @intheswamp ).

For the tomatoes that you need to get planted -- you could just put individual wire fencing cages around them to keep the deer from getting to them.

For the garden in general, you might want to consider something like this "snow fence" (also used on construction sites a lot), which is pretty inexpensive and seems to be sold everywhere: https://www.homedepot.ca/en/ho...

Rather than fencing the entire garden, you might have better luck fencing off smaller planting areas; deer don't seem to be very inclined to jump over a fence into a small space.

Best of luck with your gardening endeavor! One other thing for you to consider is adding some hybrids to your OP varieties; in my experience, at least, OP vegetables can be more difficult (more prone to disease and so on) and less productive, which can be pretty frustrating. Smiling
