Deer and rabbit damage to plants seems especially
brutal this year, although to be honest, we say that every year --
and mean it!
Below is a list of plants that are particularly resistant to garden
munchers -- but remember, no plant is "fool proof," and what works
for you might not work for a neighbor. We also recommend a variety of
products, including
Plantskydd,
Bobbex, and
Liquid Fence.
