Nope, because I have done it for years. At my farm in the US I had a
cottage garden through which one entered the house, mixed herbs, veg and
flowers. The deer were very grateful.

Here I have lots of herbs and some vegetables in the garden proper, potted
lettuces and celery used as edging (not that tall white kind) and the
orto/veg plot has only raspberries this year. It's the cinghiali that are
grateful here, but they only destroy a grass and bulbs.
