Deer like sunflowers. Despite the fact that my neighbor told me “The deer came right up to our house and ate all our sunflowers last year”, for some reason I thought mine would be safe. I thought wrong.
They also like zuchini.
And baby watermelons (but only enough to take a big bite out of the the biggest one, then SPIT OUT THE SEEDS!!)
Deer netting works really well, but is a major pain in the ass to work with. Next year, I’ll have to figure out a way to stretch it tight. My 6-ft stakes aren’t staying upright…whether they’re getting blown by the wind, or leaned on by deer, I don’t know. but they look drunk.
