    For the last 4 years, I have used 8# fishing line tied to stakes encircling my flower gardens. The dear won’t cross it because they don’t see it.. I put 2 levels up. I have many day lillies and asiatic lillies among other perennials. In the shady area I have a good variety of hosts. Deer visit my yard often, but now don’t eat my flowers. I shore it up in early spring . It is easier than anything else I have tried.

    Deer Ticks and Deer Flies. Does anyone know of any PLANTS that attract the birds and/or insects that eat Deer Ticks and Deer Flies? Or plants that attract the micro-insects that parasite and destroy the eggs of the Deer Fly and Deer Tick.

    These two insects are destroying my happiness, especially midJun-lateAug for the Deer Fly and nearly the entire year for Deer ticks. I’m so fed up and my remaining time is getting short, I’m tempted to move to Nome LOL.

    You know it’s me when you see the guy wearing a bucket hat with a bright blue paper-plate coated in Tanglefoot, plate velcro-ed to the top of hat,

    Hi Mike, Thanks for your emails. I’ve learned so much about gardening from you over the years.

    These are beautiful daylilies, but I have 5 deer who are permanent residents on our property. Any chance these are deer resistent. I know they will eat anything if hungry enough. Just wondering if they are worth the investment. I gave up on tulips years ago. They never even had a chance to open.

      I won’t say they are deer resistant, but they are quite resilient and I don’t think deer would permanently damage them.

    Hey Mike! Thank you so much for this tip! My wife is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s. She loves hummingbirds and was always putting up hummingbird feeders around the property, plus flowers that would attract them. We never heard of these lilies. She’d always got very excited when they would fly in! They’re very cool little creatures and are fascinating to watch! I only hope I can find these lilies around here. I learn so much from you Mike! Keep up the great work Sir!

Just want to tell you I enjoy watching you plant and teach people how to plant, make a compost, how to care for sick plants, but most of all I enjoy your donkeys. They are so affectionate.

    A Comment and 3 questions..
    Comment: I love your website and always look forward to your posts. This is an amazing little DayLily.
    Question 1: Can I buy this from you for my yard? I am in zone 9 and it would complement our yard in such a lovely way.
    Question 2: Can you help me with the two plum trees in my home orchard. They both have a few good limbs left, but since I pruned them recently are putting out shoots that are clearly not healthy with curled up leaves. They look very sick! I don’t want to lose the trees, but it does not appear that they will be fruiting this year.
    Question 3: Can you recommend plants I can add to a vegetable or fruit (strawberries) that will help with pest control. I want to use organic/natural products for pest control.
    Thank you very much in advance.

      If the leaves on the plums are curling up an insect might be feeding on them.

      #3 I don’t think I can help much with. Not my area of expertise.
