@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
