I agree with your list and it is hard to tell what they will and will not eat. I find that if I allow my perennials to grow in pots the first season, allow them to get woody stems, and then plant the outside, the deer will leave them alone next year. Direct sow, I have had luck with daffodils, rosemary, and all types of decorative grasses. I have been experimenting for 15 yrs at my house.

Thank you so much for your lovely video. I have made a note of these plants as I have just gone into the garden and the deer have eaten all my beautiful lupin plants which I have been nurturing all year. I am devastated. I feel like digging everything up and planting everything you suggest ! Thank you again from North Wales GB.

Donna, you are a wealth of horticultural information! I'm always fascinated by your vast knowledge! Great show!

[@RainbowGardens]

Thank you so much. :)

[@turtlelake5560]

a delightful video, deer own my yard but I think with your help that can change. thanks

[@naplescajun]

I'm just starting to plan the garden for our new piece of property. Thank you!

[@RainbowGardens]

Congratulations, how fun!

Deer. Well when we first moved here into the country and built our house I vowed to accept the critters that were already here. Deer being among the population. They will eat anything. I cage and fence everything I plant. Otherwise the deer will eat it. It doesn't matter if the deer left it alone for years. The younger generation is just learning and they will try it. Even eating the tips off spruce trees. Donna, most of the plants you recommend are, indeed, deer resitant. But they are not the ones I mostly want them to not eat. My deer love the blossoms of the coneflower. They even jumped a fence to taste the leeks. But you are right, they don't like the intense flavors of most herbs and onions. I grew tomatoes for years without the deer even considering them. Now they eat the tomatoes if they can reach them. Normally they won't eat "fuzzy" leaf plants but last year they even took bites out of my cucumbers as well as my peas. Another interesting story about critter resitant plants, if you don't mind. I used to plant marigolds around my beds to deter the rabbits. Because folklore says that will work. One day I looked out and there was a rabbit happily devouring those beautiful, anti-rabbit marigolds. I guess critters are like people. We eat what we can get and will adapt to most anything! Many thanks for a really great video!

Thank you! Oh yes, peas are a favorite of deer, as well as beans, strawberries, alfalfa, clover, hosta, clematis, daylily, roses, OH there are so many. I think you are one of the few subscribers with YT channels (also sleestakrule & helped me with this video) who would benefit from planning a deer resistant garden. I have not done it myself, however, I think there is a trick to planning the borders with certain plants to protect the interior of the garden. Perhaps you can do a video vlog on the matter? There may be many camera companies who would give you free cameras to conduct such an experiment? Who knows...it is worth a try. The best plants to grow for sure are perennial herbs like oregano, chives, tarragon, and the others mentioned.

Deer LOVE sunflowers and zinnias! They eat them when young and old, alive or dead!

[@JaysClubHouse]

Lol turnips are some of the main ingredients in seed bags for food plots

[@HealthyLifeFarm]

Awesome video Donna! I love growing herbs and great to know that most are deer resistant. I'll be planting a lot more this year. I wasn't getting your video updates, I had to click the little bell again. KZbin does a lot of interesting changes??? Happy Gardening & Take Care, :) Peaches

Deers eat EVERYTHING,including holly roses rhodos ivy

[@susanrenaud7109]

they love my nasturtiums. and chives

[@juliotamu7484]

Deer have been destroying my asparagus for years, even though I've been putting 10" diameter, two foot cages around them. This year they went after cucumber leaves and last night started on the squash. I may have to try a six foot fence.

[@tutu-pi7qp]

thank you ! right to the point

[@mariacastro2682]

Lavender and yarrow were never touched by the deer in my yard

[@lorimca2537]

Thank you Sweetheart!

[@go-wycowboys5018]

I've never had trouble with deer, but I bet its because of my 3 timber wolf malamute cross breeds. I actually like having the deer come around as it cut down on my feed bill. ;)

[@Metqa]

U a bow hunter?

[@tinalcronk5295]

Can show you a photo of mint eaten by deer I couldn’t believe it also ate butterfly tree

[@truthtalker4038]

Deer also love zinnias

[@juanitasullivan3372]

I have Mint in pots all around everything and they don't ever touch that.

[@anniemaymcneely2013]

The deer here in the poconos eat mint, catnip and everything else that they "don't eat"

[@juanitasullivan3372]

@@anniemaymcneely2013 Oh wow! Hopefully they don't breed with the Nova Scotia deer! LOL

[@Ed-iz4wm]

Funny, the deer won't eat them, but the squirrels will...ugh....

[@MrSRCOCPA]

Add captions for plant names.

[@crappiecommandos9720]
