Leave it.  Not being companions does not mean that one or the other turns 
yellow and croaks. It just means that they mildly annoy each other ... or 
might do so or might not.  You should still get plenty of peas and onions AND 
it just might discourage the deer.  They depend very heavily on smelling 
anything different and if the oinion odor masks that, it makes them nervous.
