Hostas, lilies, elephant ears, hydrangeas, sunflowers, grape vines, clematis and now the geraniums.

Damn deer are eating everything in our yard. The geraniums were right by the front door! :grr:

If I hadn't fenced in the tomatoes and peppers they would be gone too.

2. I have heard good things about this product:

You put it in the ground near your plants; when the plants absorb the stuff they taste bad and deer and rabbits won't eat them. I know somebody who tried it and she said it worked. After a few bites the deer wouldn't come near the plants.

4. Hmm, don't think I've tried that one.

I've tried so many other things. So many are temporary or the deer just get accustomed to it that it becomes useless. But I'll give that stuff a try. We want to plant a couple more trees but don't want to risk it yet.

All of our neighbors have similar tales of woe.

5. The systemic version is the one to try. It just came out this Spring.

3. damn

Deer. I had bunnies that I hated to keep caged during the summer heat. Ate so much stuff in my back yard, even with tons of food pellets. Sucks.
