Ah, I didn't catch the worry about deer. I certainly have deer on our property, but they rarely come up into the yard. I've been very fortunate in that way. I think they have enough natural habitat in our back 10 acres plus we always have a largish dog, so it just isn't worth their while to come bother my plants. I love to see them down at our pond, such graceful animals. Perhaps check with your local extension office to see if they have suggestions.
