I’ve had deer digging them up. They must not like them because they are rarely eaten.
Except the garlic bulbs. They eat the heck out of them. I have a big bed of them so they don’t get them all.
I also have winter onion in the same location. They don’t seem to like those.
I feel I have Italian deer.
I’ve heard if you plant marigolds the deer won’t come near the beds. I’ve had some success with it. But I just hate the things too. They stink.
BTW, aren’t you a tad late getting bulbs in?
