   Area I put the holly might get only  few hours of sun every day but I   
   think it may thrive there.   
      
   We have a shade and deer problem but seeing good results wife had this   
   year and reading deer do not like garlic I think I will plant some next   
   year close to the house.   
      
   My neighbors got stuck in India last spring and most of the summer and I   
   planted his garden with tomatoes, squash, green beans and carrots and   
   deer ate everything to the ground.
