Carolyn Singer in northern California.


Singer allowed large numbers of deer to access her yard for many years and chronicled the plants damaged or de- voured. Her insightful book, “Deer in My Garden,” from Garden Wisdom Press, is a great resource for anyone look- ing for plants that deer just don’t eat. In addition, the New Jersey Agricultural Extension Service has a great web page with categories of plants ranked as to their susceptibility to deer damage at www.njaes.rutgers.edu/deerresistance. No one ever said gardening would always be easy. The past two summers have proven, once again, that there is no such thing as status quo for Oklahoma gardeners. While gardening can be very rewarding, it never really turns out as expected, and most times becomes a combi- nation of hard-fought successes and surprising failures. The key is to take it all in stride and learn from our experi- ences so that during the next go-round we can make the adjustments necessary to elevate our chances for success. Here’s to next year’s gardens; may all your dreams come true.


If you have deer that are eating any of the landscape


or garden plants listed below, I would love to know. Just email me at algardens@cox.net.
