Thanks for the suggestions. I'll do a little research. Bob

One more I almost forgot...

An item very commonly used around here for commercial landscaping
ground cover (successfully) is creeping myrtle.


AKA Vinca Minor. G


Oops. ;-)

I consider myself edumacated....

Thanks.


Well, vinca minor might be more 'deer proof' than vinca major, which is
what the OP planted. Though they are obviously related as 'vinca' is the
latinate not the common name.

Drat those common names anyway! (shakes fist in air)
