Subject: [NAFEX] deer-resistant plants


I'm making my garden plan now, and hoping I won't have to hide all the
good plants behind the deer fence. Can I get some advice on whether or
not these plants are reasonably deer-proof?

Thorny plants:
raspberries
blackberries
clove currant
black currant

Non-thorny plants:
maypop (which I've never seen, but the catalogs claim it's hardy here.)
pawpaw

Last year, I was surprised that the deer loved eating my tomato plants,
but left my basil, rosemary, thyme, and various alliums alone, so
there's no accounting for taste.
