Thanks so much Emily! So far the only thing which has worked temporarily in my garden is that rotten egg spray, and you have to keep putting it on the new growth. Of course, in addition to new leaves, what they like best best best is rose buds!

Thanks for the tip! :-) I will tie some bags in the back yard, for the front, I am ordering some small wind socks for the gardens. I have been spray Liquid Fence every 3 days, I have rabbits issues, and the other day saw 3 deers 50' away. Deer Stop didn't work for me. None of them are cheap, $33-38 a bottle.

the liquid fence works for me if i use it often enough but it smells so bad i hate to spray

I used to use those bags in my original vegetable garden and it worked like a charm. Another thing I found that helped were aluminum pie plates tied on strings around the yard.

I use the stinky stuff which works pretty well to keep deer away, but is expensive and repulsive, especially on edibles. Emily, do you find that the bags scare away the birds, too? My feeders aren't too far from the tomatoes, and I'm afraid there will be problems with the bags and the birds. I would love to try the bag solution, if possible. Diane

yes, the pie plates work well, I have them attached to my scarecrow, but I still strung the bags all around as you see in the pics. no, I didn't see the bags scare away the birds.
