We love to watch in awe as baby fawns and their deer families pass along our yard each year. They come and go as they please, and occasionally they'll tolerate my camera. I'm reminded that the deer love to munch on some of our landscaping, especially lilies and other plants with tender leaves. Both my sister and my hair stylist told me to place human hair around any plants I don't want the deer to bother. I never got around to doing that this year, but I will try it.Here's a list of plants that deer do not like to eat,
according to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln extension service.
Here's a link to another article on this subject from the Vermont Extension Service.
Thanks for the links! I love watching the deer meander through our yard - especially when there are babies!
ReplyDeleteWe put a fence around our main vegetable garden. Its only 4 feet tall, but its enough to discourage our deer (they aren't desperate). The deer HAVE been known to eat some of the plants in my front flower bed though (especially hostas!). We are about to expand the flower bed in an effort to have year-round blooms for the pollinators. I'll have to check out your links when I pick out my plants :)
