[QUOTE="Average at Best, post: 348786, member: 14548"] I live in PA, but your situation sounds a lot like mine. I live on an acre in the woods, and the previous owners' garden has been destroyed by deer. The number one thing I've done is plant plants that deer don't like. The nice thing about forest living is that there are a whole range of gorgeous plants that are both well-suited for the semi-shady/shady forest floor and deer-resistant. I'm sure you can find a list online somewhere, but my garden has daffodils, russian sage, bleeding hearts, monkhood, foxglove, rose campion, blue flax, summersweet, vervain and lamb's ear. The lady at the nursery told me that in addition to bitter tasting or poisonous plants (foxglove), deer don't like "furry" plants (like lamb's ear). If you are trying to salvage your current plants, I'm not sure what has worked for other people, but I was also told that whatever regime you choose, you have to keep changing it up. Deer are highly adaptable, and they'll learn your routine quickly. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
