At the house we have many deer. They chomp the whole thing, down to the ground. The leaves don't seem to bother them a bit - but we hoped they'd at least get a tummy ache, darn them. So much for trying your rhubarb custard cake, Barb. Dora |

I'm not sure that there is much that deer (horn-rats) cannot eat. At the moment, despite cropping the ivy and practically everthing else in reach to the ground during the winter, they have left the periwinkle alone. Periwinkle (Vinca minor) is grown commercially for its alkaloid content in Hungary and perhaps deer can smell those. Come to think of it, I don't think they eat daffodils either. -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

But don't try planting lilies - or hosta - or *anything*!! I've been told, however, they steer clear of marigolds. Maybe a ring of marigolds should be planted around the rhubarb? |
