I'm sure she could give us some pointers.I showed my wife, a Master Gardener and Master Naturalist, this thread and I didn't get my phone back for half an hour. She may join ZZL just for this thread.
A few years ago, I was frustrated as hell at the damage squirrels would do. I bought 3 “Have-A-Heart” traps and relocated 200+ squirrels in 6 months.Just finished walking around. They just took the bloom. The plants are okay and I'll get some more flowers. Probably not what I had but there's always next year. I did find that several slender bush clover that I thought wouldn't make are are going to and that five more jack in the pulpit that didn't sprout last year have in the last couple of days. It also looks like I'm finally having success getting Indian pink to grow. It's supposed to be easy but I've had horrible luck until now.
I'm not that upset about the deer. I want a good result but that has almost nothing to do with why I'm doing it. It was about exercise, mental therapy and relaxation from the beginning and it's been invaluable for all three. As long as I keep kicking the can down the road in the right direction, I'm good with how it's going. Stressing out over a side salad would seem to defeat the purpose.
Yeah. I thought about scent repellents and the like but, after all, this is a pollinator garden. WTH would I alter the scent to keep deer away and maybe keep the pollinators away as well. I figure it's like income tax. Nature, like the government , is going to get their part.A few years ago, I was frustrated as hell at the damage squirrels would do.

A couple of years later, voles were going apeshit.
I didn’t know squirrels ate voles.
I’m now good with squirrels rampaging and digging up newly planted plants. I can easily replant.
Almost anybody could help me. Like almost everything else I've ever done, I'll be making it up as I go until the day I die.I'm sure she could give us some pointers.
