deer-proofing update

I was looking at some of my older posts and came across the one about the new plants we put in on Labor Day. For the record, the deer did not eat the barberry or the Russian Sage. However, they ate the Echinacea down to the ground and pretty much did the same to the ordinary sage plants. So, no more echinacea for sure, because they really seemed to like it. I can't figure out why they eat the sage but not the russian sage. Sage smells a lot stronger than russian sage, so it doesn't make any sense. But, as I said in the original post, deer are stupid.

So we bought more barberry and grasses to replace the nibbled up plants.
