Planting Out Some Beds
I put in two rhododendrons, five variegated Abelias, four Coreopsis (tickseed), and four Nepeta (cat mints), all of which are supposed to be deer resistant.
The rabbits decimated my Coreopsis last year and despite my efforts to protect, revive and properly overwinter them in the polar North, they didn't make it. I'm much more prepared this year with chicken wire barriers for my pots and more tasty, delicate plants as well as a pellet gun for more direct predatory action upon overpopulated nuisance small prey animals.

Here's hoping your beds survive!
