We have finally found some plants that the deer won’t eat.  Here is my proof.  These pots spent the spring planted with dill, and when the dill went to seed, I replanted them with basil, marigolds, and one cayenne pepper plant.

 

That was a month ago, and they are all still here.  These pots are not fenced, or caged, or protected in any way.  And they haven’t been eaten…yet.

 

Around the corner to the right there is a pot of lemon grass and one of lovage, and they haven’t been eaten either…yet.

 

All these plants have something in common:  strong smell and taste.  Maybe that’s the trick:  plant strong smelling stuff, and the deer will leave them alone, and go eat your neighbors’ azaleas.

 

 

HAPPY  GARDENING!!!
