It's really hard to advise you since we don't know where you live. I would suggest that you check with your state's cooperative extension agency (each county has an office). You can also do a google search on deer resistant plants. Please be aware that there are few plants that deer won't eat under harsh circumstances. As winter concludes and the deer are very hungry, they will eat nearly anything. I find that they come increasingly closer to my house in late winter, presumably taking more risks as food supplies dwindle and their fat reserves are used. |

deer and planting questions
I have had lily of the valley and lilacs in deer country for many years.
The deer seem to nibble on newly planted lilacs but don't seem to bother them much. Gary "Vox Humana" wrote in message ...
