If deer make it impossible to even bother gardening, use artificial plants - there are many to choose from. I have some that look like bushes, and a lot of colored artificial succulents - people actually thought they were real. My reasoning was that I'm just plain tired of weeding. Those I mentioned are in front of our home, on sides of our brick pathway. I pour vinegar in between the bricks to keep weeds away - works perfectly & lasts a long time.
