I am so very jealous of those of you who have deer in your yards. I'd plant things they DO like just to have them around!! I'm a city dweller and hate it. I guess the grass is always greener - - ;-)

dont forget daffodils and hyacinths. my dear deer (oh, how witty!) seem to leave them alone. as for the fishline, i was told to stretch the fishline between poles at deer-breast height. when the line gives some but doesn't go away like brush, the deer will leave. what i assumed was deer and raccoon turned out to be a plague of badgers. oh, what excitements that was! getting them out of the live trap I mean.

I would like to add a few plants to your deer resistant list. In my area of New Brunswick, Canada we have a major deer problem. They have never eaten the following plants in the 7 years I have been gardening at our present home.
Nepeta/Catmint
Anise
Bridal Wreath Spirea
Evening Primrose
Leopard's Bane
Forget-Me-Nots
Chives
Creeping Phlox
Ajuga
I do have several plants they eat to their heart's desire! I was very surprised and frustrated when they chewed away my Knockout Rose and Clematis! I hope this addition to your list helps all of those other gardeners who have a love/hate relationship with deer.

They also say if you throw human hair around, the deer will stay away. My friend got it from her hair dresser and put it around her flowers and the deer stayed away from them.

Actually if you attach flags to the fishing line it can scare off the deer without them getting hurt (but you need to be in a windier area).
Bloodmeal is used by a number of fruit growers - a very good deterrent for deer.

I would be scared to put fishing line out ...the deer or any other animal would get tangled up in it .. theres no one to help them get untangled.. I would never even try that one..but thanks for the tip

Thank you! I have a rose bush out front that is eaten every year. I finally let it die off. But there aren't many flowers in the yard. Also, if you put fishing line around your plant or blocking your plant the deer can't see it but will run into it. It scares them when they run into it and they will not pursue your plant.
