@jude07, I can relate to your deer eating your plants. I have already told my story of the crocus appearing one day and gone the next. Also, the deer ate every bud from our freshly planted mums. We had those planted by a company and we really never got to enjoy them. The deer are ceaseless in their search for something new to eat. They will try anything and spit it out if they decide they don't like it. A few years ago during rutting season, a buck used his antlers to strip the bark from my Japanese Maple tree. Of course, it died. I would give up, but my husband keeps trying new things. We have found the deer do not eat the daffodils, but those were planted long ago and last year a lot of them did not bloom. It will be interesting to see what does bloom this year. Good luck! @joybringer1

@jude07, isn't there something you can put out there around your plants to keep the deer away? Maybe through out some seed or grass or something they like and they'd leave your plants alone? I would go nuts seeing some beautiful or not so beautiful animal munching on my special flowers or plants.....especially if I bent over and planted each one! I put moth balls outside my fence a few times when rats came up from the creek to my patio......seemed to keep them away some.....squirrels don't like them either. Nor do snakes, I think...may be mistaken there.

But, we have a lot of rain and it washed away most of the help I was getting. Love the deer and it must be lovely watching them, but it would also break my heart! Blessings, Jude and enjoy your walk in your cleared street. Don't know how you keep up with that snow and the work.....enjoy, elziabeth
