Default bulbs deer won't eat

Yes. I plant them in Sept if I want to harvest the garlic; and at the same
time I plant the other plants I am trying to protect. Plant them tiwh the
tip of the clove up and cover it with 1/2 to 1 inch of dirt.

Last year I harvested 53 heads of garlic.

This may or may not help you, but when the rabbits ate my cabbage plants
as fast as I could plant them, I alternated a clove of garlic between
each plant. Haven't lost any since then and that has been about 7 years
ago.

You might try it in your flower bed. You will get something good from
them and they are good for your roses (at least that is what my Companion
Gardening book says).

Other than daffodils, what other bulbs produce growth that deer won't
eat?
I want to naturalize an area in my back yard, which borders a woods
overfilled with deer.
