When I was a teenager we lived in the southern mountains of NM and we had tons of deer. Tons & tons. They'd ravage our garden every year.. first would be the jalapenos, then the tomatoes, then the broccoli & cauliflower, the pole beans & string beans, then the corn when the ears were being developed. The cucumbers wouldn't even make it barely above the ground and the damned deer would wait until the watermelon were almost ripe before they'd puncture them w/their hooves & devoured. How many times I would want to have Bambi burgers for dinner the next day when I went outside to see what was left.. and there was never anything left! Wait.. they didn't eat the tomatillos.. odd. But they'd eat everything else.
I put in a lot of salvia & agastache last year (2012), so I'm hoping that everything comes back OK this year! I'd love to have some of that black & blue salvia, but every plant I put in didn't make it and the 2 packets of seed didn't grow.
