We are just getting over an arctic blast and by Monday the temperatures are supposed to go into the 40’s and STAY THERE!!!!

Whoo Hoo!!!!!!!!

OK, we’re moving to a new house in the country that is loaded with deer. The house comes with a garden that is fenced in but I understand that it is no guarantee to keep deer out.

I know deer like some veggies more than others, like beans. But what is there that they would NOT be so interested in.

Does anyone have any suggestions to help make it less attractive to the deer? I understand they to not like fragrant plants and I do plan on having an herb garden. I also an planting onions and garlic.

Do deer eat the corn plants or just the corn when it’s ripe?
What about tomato plants?

A lot depends on the fence. You can hang some old cd’s every now and then along the top edge so they will spin with the wind. Our most effective was sending hubby out to “water” the edge of the garden. That scent will keep a variety of critters away.
