Help!!!!! What kind of flowers can I plant that the deer will not eat ?? Seems like they eat everything around here .:sad:
 
Al...mom sprays her flowers with a mixture of cheep hot sause and dawn dish soap mixed with water....seems to work around here....she buys the big bottles of hot sause at wal-mart cheepest she can find and mixes one quart hot sause,one quart water and adds a little dawn soap to make it stick......I guess!!!! ya might try that.
 
As a post script....a fellow out in western Ks used to get the hair from a local barber shop and spread it in his wifes flower beds and he clamed it worked ......might be worth a try!!!
 
If you sprinkle blood meal around everything the deer will avoid it. But you have to do it after every X amount of rain. The dogs will try to eat it though so you need to train them to stay out of the flowers.

The dear will sample just about everything. They seem to avoid my Hostas, Lillies, Daylillies, Lupines, and Rhodies. The west coast deer are different than the east coast deer as far as appetites so take regional advice into consideration.

The best thing we have at the moment is a young vigilant Pit/Lab that stays out all night chasing the deer away. Not sure how long he will keep it up but we actually have had great flowers so far this year.
 
The whitetail deer in NE Ohio have turned my neighbor's hosta bed into a salad bowl for themselves. Last year, for the first time in 18 years of gardening in this house, the deer decided to start eating tomatoes. They would take one bite from each tomato each night, just to piss me off (I'm convinced of this). I really wouldn't have cared so much if they ate the whole tomato, but the demon spawn of satan would take one damn bite and let the rest of the fruit rot on the vine...bastards! Found this at Home Depot, and bought the concentrate for my 1-gallon sprayer. So far so good. No new deer tracks in the garden, and the tops of all the plants are still intact. Because of the heavy rains we've had, I did an intermittent spay application in the middle of the week just to be safe. The stuff is a bit pricey, but so far it's proving its worth.
