I live in New Jersey and have learned what flowers and shrubs deer will
decimate. By painful experience I now know what to plant for
foliage/flowers in the yard.

I am getting into growing vegetables. I would like to know what
vegetables they eat and do not eat.

I have noticed that thy will not eat my Asparagus.

Any suggestions for veggies they will/will not eat?

thanks,

Never planted asparagus but onions were only vegetable I grew that
they would not eat.
They may not eat hot peppers but they will eat and destroy the plant.

Best thing to do is fence off garden with deer netting.

Shade and deer did in my garden and I now plant tomatoes and peppers
in pots on my 10 foot deck which the deer do not climb but woman told
me that deer went up short flight of steps to her front porch and ate
her flowers
