Re: Flowers that deer don't eat

Jo,

Many thanks for these. I have a few of these which have obviously survived, so I should have realised. None of them are the really pretty, colourful, summer flowers that you see in an English garden. Do you know of any annuals that I could put in my patio pots for summer?

Yes, roses are their favourites! I would love to grow roses and we have a couple of climbers which have got above grazing height so flower high up the wall. However, I put one right beside my kitchen door and even this has been eaten, so they are not afraid to come right up to the house.

I agree there are compensations. I love to watch them too. There were six of them together in the garden last week. Normally just 2 or 3 at a time.

Jenny
