Protecting Favorite Plants From Hungry Deer

This New Jersey gardener grows beautiful lilies despite the local wildlife

Terry Redling send in these picture of preferent share of their garden in Gillette , New Jersey . Terry say that their preferred time of day is when they get to lean to their plants !

This loanblend lily , in the Asiatic group(Lilium , Asiatic subdivision , Zones 5–9 ) , boasts spectacular coloration . Asiatic lily have some of the most complex , beautiful , and diverse peak coloring in the human race of reliable lilies , though they lack the intense redolence of some of their slightly less colorful counterparts .

On the other paw , Oriental lilies(Lilium , Oriental plane section , Zones 5–8 ) , like this one , have an acute scent that can not be matched . View the Oriental lily flora guide here .

Daylilies(Hemerocallisspp . and loan-blend , Zones 4–9 ) are not true lilies , but their similar flowers can be just as beautiful if also usually unscented . Unfortunately , they and the reliable lilies are favorite bite for cervid .

thirsty cervid are a fact of life here , so Terry protect precious lilies with net fencing material . If cervid are unsound where you garden ( and it seems like that is true nigh everywhere ) , putting up some kind of fence or netting barrier is about the only way to protect tasty plants from getting gobbled up . Spray repellents can work temporarily , especially if there are n’t many cervid in the field , but foresightful - terminus fence is the only real solvent .

Terry has take to fence off each single bed , using a thin netting that does n’t prevent visually enjoying the plant . This method acting can be very in force , and it allows you to protect just the plant deer love the best . The other choice is to fence off the entire garden , which works great but can be very expensive if your garden is large .

mash in between the flower beds is Terry ’s veggie garden , again fenced off to keep athirst animals away and allow human being to love the delicious bounteousness it bring forth .
