For this watercolour autumn landscape painting, I wanted to create the impression of sunlight shining through Autumn trees and lighting up a woodland path with a luminous glowing effect. I love the colours of nature and the quality of the light.

Learn how to build your own " Critter-Resistant Vegetable Garden".Autumn is definitely my favourite time of the year. If all else fails, surround your garden with tall deer fencing or other impenetrable barrier. You can also try a deer-resistant wildflower mix. Instead, put them in containers on a balcony or front porch or plant them in hanging baskets that are too high for deer to reach.

You don’t have to avoid growing all the annuals that deer like to nibble on. Just half the recommended dosage at a given time will leave the odor but not overstimulate the plants,” advises Clausen. “Be careful not to overfertilize, which will result in the soft, succulent vegetative growth that deer love. To eliminate the temptation, treat the area with a strong-smelling deer repellent or something that also doubles as a chemical-free fertilizer, such as blood meal or fish emulsion. Deer love the tender new leaves and shoots of groundcovers when they first emerge in the spring. Interplant aromatic perennial herbs throughout your garden that have scents that deer hate, such as mint, thyme, French tarragon, lavender, chives, sage, and rosemary. If that doesn’t work, try startling them with a sudden spray of water by installing a motion-activated sprinkler. Keep them on edge by hanging wind chimes from the branches of trees and shrubs or by placing wind spinners throughout your garden. Deer are often frightened away by loud noises and sudden movement.

We’ve included some of Clausen’s smart choices, along with a few top picks of our own, in this list of deer-resistant plants.

Many stunning plants are unpalatable to deer because of their poisonous compounds, fuzzy or aromatic leaves, and tough, spiny, or bristly textures,” says Ruth Rogers Clausen, author of 50 Beautiful Deer-Resistant Plants. “You can still have a lush, thriving garden by making smart choices. For a natural look, this deer-resistant wildflower mix is great, otherwise check out the suggestions below. Although it’s impossible to make a backyard completely deer-proof, you can fill it with plants deer hate and minimize deer damage. The ornamental plants and shrubs in your garden should be a feast for the eyes, not a banquet for the local deer population. Deer love to graze on many types of groundcovers, especially when new, tender growth emerges in the spring.
