My poor mom has the worst trouble with deer. They eat everything. She
loves to put out ornamental pots with flowers on the front steps and she
has so many decades old plants (mainly lilies, peonies) that are being
eaten to the ground. Her hostas, everything. She's tried so many
things including chicken wire to protect them but that gets hard for her
to maintain now that dad's passed. She's put so many years and work
into her flower beds and shrubs and is upset to have them all eaten but
what can you do...
