You won't want to be dozing off dur- ing this fascinating Coffee with the Curator. Author Dan Pezzoni featured at Earl Scruggs Coffee with the Curator June 21 With more than 60 different species of deer worldwide, there's a good chance individuals will have some sort of in- teraction with these majestic animals at one point during their lifetimes. Deer, which live on all continents except Antarctica, can sur- vive in everything from mountainous areas to wet rainforests to suburban neighborhoods. These herbivores are voracious eaters that will search far and wide for their meals. Home land- scapes tend to be easy pickings for foraging deer. Many people are excited to see deer in their neighborhoods and yards because they can be such graceful creatures to be- hold. However, once deer start to munch on ornamental trees, annuals and fl owering shrubs, the novelty of these animals may wear off. Furthermore, deer also can be covered in ticks that spread illnesses like Lyme disease. Here are some tips to keep deer at bay. • Avoid tasty morsels. Deer like English ivy, lettuces, impa- tiens, pansies, and hostas. Fruit trees also are targets. Choose other plants to grow, and wait until after early spring, when deer aren't as concerned with regaining weight lost during the winter, to get them in the ground. • Use fi shing line to deter deer. Put a few stakes in the ground and then run fi shing line at a height of about three feet. Deer can sense movement but do not have keen vision. As the deer approach your garden, they'll brush against the "invisible" fi shing line and then get spooked off. • Plant plants that produce strong aromas. The experts at Good Housekeeping suggest planting lavender and mari- golds, which emit strong aromas. Deer will be reluctant to walk through because the smell can interfere with their ability to fi nd food and assess their environment via their sense of smell. • Stock up on soap. The tallow in soap helps keep deer away, according to the University of Vermont Extension Department of Plant and Soil Science. Scented soaps like Irish Spring may be especially good at warding off deer. • Plant in levels. Raised beds and sunken gardens can dis- courage deer from coming into the yard because they aren't avid climbers, offers the home and garden resource This Old House. • Employ harmless scare tactics. Deer are skittish, and any unfamiliar movement or sound may scare them away. Cans hung from strings, sundials and lights can keep them at bay. Deer will seek out an easy meal, but homeowners can take steps to safeguard their trees, fl owers and shrubs. How to protect your yard from deer EVEN WHEN IT'S JUST AROUND THE CORNER.
