My garden has a 6' fence all around it to keep the deers out. The fence has full height wire fencing (4" x 2" holes), with chicken wire for the bottom 3' added on.
A few nights ago I noticed a fox inside the fencing. I scared him/her away, but I didn't see how it got in or out. I checked the perimeter and couldn't see where it went under or through the fence.
So last night I was sitting outside drinking beer about 20 yards from the garden, and I watched the fox climb the fence. When it got to the top I asked "what are you doing up there?" It sheepishly jumped down outside the fence and crept away into the trees.
I haven't noticed any produce missing or nibbled on, so maybe the fox was just after mice or big bugs or something. Do I need to be worried about a fox in the garden?
Also, while sitting out last night by the fire, I saw a scorpion, a tarantula, a bat, a jackrabbit, purple martins, hummingbirds, a 1-day old fawn, lots of lightning bugs/fireflies, and heard a Chuck-will's widow.
