Knock on wood Nicole, but I don't have a deer problem here at our acreage, DH and our dog scares them away if they come too close. I see Daylilies in front do they not eat those?

Good luck on the Sunflowers, I grow them every year too ;)

Sharon,

They do eat Daylilies, but have been leaving mine alone. They nibbled on them 4 years ago, and haven't touched them since.

We do have two dogs, a Valleybulldog and a Black Lab, and ever since the sunflower fiasco in 2002, the deers had not been on the property except to pass through. But this year they decided to really attack the gardens.

After trying several things - including human urine and don't ask about application of said remedy which did not work - I began making my own concoction of garlic juice. It's been holding them at bay and I'm happy with the results. DH hates the smell of the stuff when I'm making a batch of it, but that's tough! I want gardens!!

Tiffy, I know how you feel .We don't have deer here but we do have squirrels. I gave up making concoctions to keep them away. The last year I sowed sunflowers, I planted a variety which grew taller than the roof, but they pulled the whole plant down. I have not tried them in years. I hear there is a new breed of 'seedless' sunflower I'm hoping to try. It's the seeds they want.
