Hi,

You might want to check for deer proof landscaping ideas for your area. Yes, deer in different areas eat different things. Deer can jump quite high and you may not like the hight of the fence you would need to put in. I have the same proble -- deer, skunk and field mice. The skunk I will worry about later and make sur to sprinkle hot pepper seeds on the next fall bulbs I plant. As for the deer, I will plant herbs they don't like -- which is most of them -- ferns and sunflowers around my property this year. I am also thinking of lupins. I am hoping that these borders will discourage deer from coming into my yard.

good luck and if you have any ideas about keeping the mice out of my vegetable garden, I would appreciate knowing about it.
