I still think the best solution is a tall fence but it's a big expense too. My mom uses this spray stuff called "Deer Off" that works pretty well if you spray it several times a week (and every time it rains). My aunt and uncle who live more in the woods have resigned themselves to growing only plants that deer don't like - if you want some ideas, check out our deer resistant mix at www.naturescrossroads.com Alas, there are no vegetables on that list...

We found the only way to keep out our animal friends was to build an 8' fence around our garden, place chicken wire about 3' high around the bottom of the fence and hang plastic bags on the fence. This has worked for us and we can still enjoy the wild animals. We have a big fall garden and are picking raspberries. One other thing deer really like in the winter is strawberry plants. Love your blog. Here in Oklahoma the deer, rabbits, raccoons, and turtles help eat our garden produce.

So far the deer have not returned. Thanks Frances, I'm actually in Pennsylvania and love Texas but that's too many deer running around for me!

PLANTSKYDD helped deter them. Mostly they just like eating. I love your garden. The pictures of the vegetables are wonderful. When you get tired in Chicago, you can come help us in Texas. Of course, we are the area that has 200 deer per subdivision but that is only because the neighbors like feeding the deer. LOL I had the deer experience last year. PLANTSKYDD helped deter them.

GRRRR. they're also eating off all my blueberry bushes and apple trees. I noticed deer tracks in my raised beds as well, they uprooted a bunch of my arugula seedlings.
