    A most heartfelt article that is so very appropriate. Living next to a state park I am most familiar with the predations of deer. The only difference between my herds and your deer resistant plant list is that mine also eat Euonymus fortunei. 

    I applaud your perseverance in the mighty fence you built. I am convinced that that is the only way to deer proof a garden. I have tried other methods only to have the deer look upon plant additives as a condiment after at the most, one year. Unfortunately I have not been able to have them partake of Datura, Foxgloves, Monkshood, Brugmansia nor Papaver somniferum seed heads. Local code forbids the keeping of mountain lions so my deer win.

If God wanted us to be vegetarians,          
why did He/She make deer out of meat.               
Eat venison.
