A couple of weeks ago deer browsed some bush beans with big catnip plants growing on two sides. I don't think it's much of a deterrent, though it's a great bee plant. I let it reseed and keep 3-4 plants a summer.

Panels of fencing laid on the ground beneath fruit trees helps some -- the deer don't like stepping on it. Ditto sheet metal roofing.

Thanks Planatus,

That is why I asked! I didn't think it would work!

I picked up some old pallets from our shipping dept. as a quick fix and laid them around my other fruit trees. Because I didn't think they would cross them, so far so good.

I'm about done picking the rest of the nectarines and I'm waiting on the few apples that I have. A late frost killed almost all of my fruit tree blossoms and fruit. I didn't get a single peach, cherry, or pear.
