Deer resistant plants
These are some of the plants suitable for the Pacific Northwest that are somewhat resistant to deer predation. I would make note that deer vary widely in their eating habits. The Acer that was demolished in one garden and given to another was never again touched by deer. New plantings, of whatever nature will most likely be visited and eaten – at least initially.
What methods have you used to deter deer? Hints for some of my own suggestions. Or try on these plants: NH – Not hardy in WA.

I ought to say, as a whole lot as I enjoyed redanig what you had to say, I couldnt assist but shed interest soon after a while. Its as in the event you had a great grasp on the subject matter, but you forgot to contain your readers. Maybe you need to think about this from far far more than one angle. Or maybe you shouldnt generalise so considerably. Its greater should you think about what others may have to say instead of just going for a gut reaction to the topic. Take into consideration adjusting your own believed procedure and giving other people who may possibly read this the benefit with the doubt.
