Plants Deer Don’t Like!

We love to watch them, but oh, how upsetting to lose your finest tomatoes! Try all the home remedies you hear of... but they will persist. Every new house built cuts down on their feeding resources...until it has a garden!

Deer, especially hungry ones, will eat almost anything.

The easiest control is to use plants they don't seem to like!
