Some of the critter challenges of growing vegetables and flowers at elevation.
I have had gardens in several states and done well growing both vegetables and flowers. Until I moved to Colorado, I grew my plants at or below sea level. Elevation in Colorado is very different because of lower humidity, more direct sun and the mountain weather patterns. Also, the wildlife creates havoc with gardens and vegetables. I deal with deer, elk, rabbits, voles, mice, pack rats, chipmunks, and ground squirrels to name a few that love my gardens. My first 3 years gardening were a disaster.
