He put a few cloves around my rose bush, then some in between my Lily's and Hostas (more deer delicacies). <br /><br />Doreen Countryside Reflectionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784726289611258835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4005870656044436056.post-45438144249627060092013-10-30T08:59:38.777-04:002013-10-30T08:59:38.777-04:00Good advice.

Plant a circle around them of garlic....you can do it with garlic chives too, those do not need to be re-planted each year. Deer also do not like lavender, and I have lavender inter-planted with my roses, and other flowers that are tempting! Mums are another flower they do not like....there are hardy garden mums that come back each year.<br />I know you can plant garlic in pots, but if you plant it now, as a fall planting...I would suggest watering it well, adding mulch to the top of it, and putting it in a garage ..let it go thru its cycle of sleep....in the spring, put it out in the yard, on the walk, etc..in full sun and water it as you would a regular potted plant.Over watering will rot the bulb....<br />You can also make a garlic spray, to deter the deer and rabbits...crush one clove, mix a quart of water with it and give it a whirl in the blender..let sit over night , strain the next day, and spray anything you want animals to stay away from...garlic will not hurt any plant....just re-spray after rains.SueAnnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4005870656044436056.post-61026624724086996412013-10-29T16:10:33.299-04:002013-10-29T16:10:33.299-04:00Thanks for this information Sue Ann.

My husband is interested in planting some garlic so I printed your information for him. <br /><br />This summer I was admiring the rose bush that my son bought me for my birthday, and the next day when I looked at it, every rose was gone. I was shocked, and obviously the deer were to blame. I didn't know that they would eat roses. Well now I have a solution to hopefully deter them.

I have some large terra cotta pots I would like to use. I was reading about planting in containers and it seems that it works. Also, after I plant it, do I keep watering it through the winter, or is there a point where you can stop?
