any ideas for
discouraging the deer from enjoying my garden other than a 6 foot
electric fence

We use deer netting, similar to bird netting. We only need it in the
winter to protect our rhododendrons. If we don't us it, there is
nothing but sticks left in the spring. All foliage and buds are gone.

Another suggestion is to only raise native perennials. They have
evolved through the process of survival to a form the deer don't like
very well. When hungry they will eat anything green.
