I put 12 plants in a nice little plot in the woods almost 4 weeks ago. I went out today to check on them and a couple pots were knocked over and one of the girl's stem had almost entirely snapped in half! I staked her back up but don't know how, if, she can be saved? Could I use duct tape to try and seal her up or what?

That's probably what i'll end up doing. Just wanted to know if there was anything to do to save her. Thanks Hawk

There's putty you can buy to help repair it, and then help prop it back into place. I wouldn't go through the effort though.

I'm pretty new to growing (but not gardening in general), and one of the first things I learned was how to deter deer. They tend to take the path of least resistance so you can just pile brushy piles of sticks around them to make it inconvenient, bonus if it has thorns.
Around here we have this non-native invasive plant called autumn olive that grows like a giant shrub and has big thorns/spikes on it. By cutting those down I can block off deer paths and create inconvenient barriers around the plants so the deer avoid them.

I had some plants just a few feet from a deer trail, but a 2' or so pile of limbs kept them out of it. They could have easily jumped over but they're lazy fucks and go for the easiest possible foods first, unless it becomes scarce, then all bets are off.
