i hope so!
We have a shade and deer problem but seeing good results wife had this
year and reading deer do not like garlic I think I will plant some next
year close to the house.

it won't keep deer from finding and eating other
plants. it doesn't deter them. some young deer will
still sample onions and garlic or any other plant we
grow here even if it is reputedly deer repellent or
resistant or not attractive to deer. the young ones
don't know better...
My neighbors got stuck in India last spring and most of the summer and I
planted his garden with tomatoes, squash, green beans and carrots and
deer ate everything to the ground.

fences help us here, but not everything is fenced so
we do get deer going through here at times and eating
anything they can find that they like. until i can get
a full enclosed fence put up they'll be around. i just
try to make it not so easy for them...

We were having trouble with deer until we got a motion sensor activated squirter for the garden. That kept them away.
