Hi fellow gardeners! What a great new board, thanks Pete.
We recently moved into a new home, in the 'burbs/country. I'm used to a city garden, working with small lots. Now I have plenty of space for flowers, veggies & herbs. We've got about 1,000 day lillies on the property, with a scattering of daffodills, and fruit trees.
However, we have LOTS of wildlife -- deer, coyotes, chipmuncks, birds, fox, squirrels. I want to work with the natural life around us, so I don't want to use any harsh chemicals.
I know how to deal with everything but the deer -- any suggestions on what I can plant to keep them away from my flowers and produce? (I've heard that "spicy" plants like pepper might keep them away.)
Thanks!
