Take heart........

.......those of you that live two floors up in your gardenless Edinburgh flat!
Those sleepless nights spent worrying that an escapee giraffe will come and scoff your marigolds so lovingly tended in your window boxes are a thing of the past !  :-)
For lookee here ;my garden planted with all sorts of goodies that the deer that roam my garden  ( this little roe was nibbling my bottle;brush bush at 11am this morning just 20' away ) just walk past and ignore !
So go to it and fill your window boxes  :-))
However....I have afeeling that your neighbours might consider metre high alliums and Siberian irises just a tad OTT :-D
