The good old English Marigold works a treat!

Seems the pesky buggers can't stand the smell.

(my uncle told me!)

Updated to include this link about deer:

Wasn't really my uncle. A good friend had
an island garden of roses in the drive and
they'd never get to see them cause of the
possums. Someone, maybe her uncle?,
told her about them so she planted them
on the border of her rose garden and now
her blooms flower instead of fatten!

Wouldn't hurt to try some as they also attract
pollinators, parasitic wasps that lay eggs in
caterpillars and they deter the nematode worm.

They also have useful medicinal properties:

"English Marigolds have been used to treat conjunctivitis, blepharitis, eczema, gastritis, minor burns including sunburns, warts, and minor injuries such as sprains and wounds. It has also been used to treat cramps, coughs, and snake bites. Historically, English Marigold flowers have been considered beneficial in reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, and used as an antiseptic.
Calendula has been used to treat a variety of skin diseases and has been seen effective in treatment of skin ulcerations and eczema. Taken internally through a tea, it has been used for treatment of stomach ulcers, and inflammation."

I couldn't afford to give my family rabbit for dinner all the time.
I saved some money, bought various seeds, a shotty and a lawn chair.
Now we give away rabbits to worthy neighbors

What some people do outside of the Houston proper area in wooded upscale neighborhoods is this. The husband pees around the perimeters. It works to protect gardens also.
They also put salt licks in their yards. The deer love theh salt licks, dislike the male pee scent, and generally leave the flowers and shrubs alone.

Great options, thanks!

Do the people inside the other neighbourhoods
hold their noses outside and dine on venison?

I live in Colorado with a major deer problem.

I simply built wire fences around my trees and gardens.

Six-foot tall field fence wire and seven-foot T-posts.
