Try June Hosta...ive had it in my garden for 7 years with NO nibbles, or damage whatsoever and I live in a greenway where it's not uncommon to see 10-15 deer grazing my yard at any time of the year...I planted a group at my brother n laws garden and his do not get eaten either. As a matter of fact, he had Albo-Marginata planted right beside a June I planted for him and the Albo gets eaten to a nub every year while his June doesn't get touched. Now of course if deer are hungry enough they will eat things they do not normally. But I can say with confidence and true experience that June has shown better deer resistance than any Hosta I've seen. Many of the comments above are general statements with no true test or trial to prove wether the statements are right or wrong...probably "master gardeners". I grow approximately 6,000 Hosta per year for production and my experience tells me that June Hosta is one worth giving a chance for deer resistance.

I would love to do a trade with you. Strawberry Rhubarb is a particulary sweet type of rhubarb plant that has red stalks. Rhubarb is a perenial garden plant, that is used for making sauces compotes, jams, pies and wines, and crumbles. Maybe more. I will email you

I just received the most WONDERFUL box from Miss Sue! It was so big, it took 2 kids to carry it. :) And MERCY, I just about fell out of my chair when I saw how much it cost to mail! Prices are getting ridiculous!! I tried to keep track of everything as I unwrapped them, but I had 4 little helpers (the girls helped me...the boys couldn't have cared less- they know they're going to be recruited to help plant later on! LoL!) so I didn't get everything written down. But everything looks great, nothing is wilted! Which was SO surprising, considering the heat! I know there were 2 mini roses, red & blue salvia, many daylilies, 6 succulents, dianthus, lantana, rosemary & lavender. The rosemary & lavender made the box smell SOOOO good! If I've forgotten to mention anything, please forgive me! Thank you SO MUCH, Miss Sue! You outdid yourself with a WONDERFUL box, and I absolutely LOVE everything!

Joey and Lorelei, you are right! Who'd a thunk sansiverrias could be appreciated for their delicious fragrance? Not me anyway. Annie and Joanna, no -- you do not get to be jealous of the rain! ... LOL Because, on average Austin gets about three inches more a year than San Antonio (you lucky people :-) and not only that it's comes more regularly. So enjoy it! ... :-) Lorelei, after I learned what a wafer ash looks like I saw one growing less than half a mile from my house! I looked for seedlings, but couldn't find any. I did collect some seeds to share. Pam, thanks for enjoying my yard with me, and that goes for all of you. Much appreciation.
