We’re getting pretty feed-up with how the deer are eating all they can find in our yard. So far, we are doing fairly well with using deer-off products such as Deer Scram Deer & Rabbit Repellent from Mastergardening.com, but I forgot that deer also like okra and portulica. Consequently, they have gotten the best of us with those two plants.
I’m excited to say that they haven’t eaten my hydrangeas that I love to dry. I owe that to the product mentioned above. I trained our beloved deer early in the season not to like those plants with weekly spraying for the first three weeks and once a month after that.

- Salvia -Great Deer-Resistant Annual
Although you can have success using such deer and rabbit off sprays, another great way to garden with deer is to plant deer-resistant annuals and perennials.
That brings us to our featured video this week which is the annual Salvia.
This plant is deer-resistant and fairly drought tolerant. It goes well in the front of your garden, drys well for arrangements (actually looks like lavender), and is good in fresh arrangements as well.
