We have a LOT of deer. They don't eat our borage, which is very tasty fried, or our sage (also tasty fried).
They also don't eat stinging nettles -- you may not think stinging nettles are edible, but they are!

We also have not had problems with them trying to eat our artichoke plants; they were in a small enclosure that the deer certainly could have raided, but did not
