HERB PLANTS MIXED AMONGST THE VEGETABLE GARDEN THIS YEAR TO KEEP OUT THE RABBITS AND DEER!


Herb Plants to Repel Deer and Rabbits from the Garden

I’ve done a lot of research this year on how to keep the deer and rabbits out of my garden. I’ve used several methods over the years like this one; some work pretty well but nothing I’ve found so far keeps them out completely. I think the only way is to build a high fence around the garden and that’s not something I want to tackle so I’m trying some easier solutions that don’t cost much first. Right now all the plants are hanging out on my porch waiting for the weather to get nicer before I plant them in the garden.

I’m going to plant herbs that rabbits and deer don’t like the strong smell of amongst my vegetable plants. You can see a list of the herbs I’m using below. I use herbs in my cooking and smoothies anyway so if I’m going to the expense I like the idea of it being something we’ll eat.

The bunnies like to use the space between the raised garden beds as a racetrack, chasing each other. Hubby and I get a kick out of watching them. They sure are cute to watch but they’re also very destructive and like to get their fair share of my garden. I wouldn’t mind if they had a little but in one evening the deer and rabbits can eat everything right down to the round.Herb Plants to Repel Deer and Rabbits from the Garden

I have a few other tricks up my sleeve and I’ll be back to share them with you later. Everything I’m doing is inexpensive or free to me. I’m lucky I have a hubby that saves everything; I totally cringe when I say this. I’m not one to like extra stuff hanging around but in this case it was a good thing (I’ll be sharing that soon).

      Jan, I’ll try and video it and upload it to an upcoming post. They’re way quicker than me so it may be quite a challenge.

    I’m getting my herbs and tomato plants today and will probably wait a week to plant them. We still have 40ish degree overnights here in Indiana, and its been very wet, so the ground is still not very warm. I’d rather wait than have to re-plant. I recall several years ago having to cover in-ground plants as late as end of May due to frost. I hate when the summer season is even shorter than normal.

      Pat we’re still getting bouts of frost so mine are all hanging out on the porch still. We’re also getting all that rain. It sure makes the grass grow but it doesn’t dry out in time to mow again so it looks terrible but there’s nothing I can do about it. I’m with you I’ll wait to plant, no one wants to keep covering and uncovering them every day. I’m so read for nice weather, this stuff is horrible right now.

    I’m sorry but I spent more time trying to get rid of the ads than I did reading the article. This site is covered with distractions both top and bottom of the screen.

      I’m sorry I’ll see what I can do about it. Have a wonderful week and thank you for stopping by 🙂
