A Shot Tonite From My Deck

[Countryboy]

The deer are skulking about already. Grrrr! And the garden's not even planted!

Ah,casing the joint .... Laff,just waiting for the green and crunchy to appear.

You gonna put some cages on your plants ?

[Eeyore]

Giggle! Like Laura says "casing the joint"

[Countryboy]

Please, please ladies . . . no more sympathy. It's simply overwhelming. lol

But yeah . . . this will be an interesting experiment in thwarting these raiders. It's been over ten years since I've grown vegetables on this property. I've been planning a garden for all that time . . . just waiting for the renovation to get to this stage.

For years I've not had a problem with flowers. Just a sprinkle with hair protects them. But for vegetables the only solution I can see is to plant enuf for everybody.

And when that doesn't work?????? . . . hmmmmmm. lol

Am picturing that "Shot Tonite From My Deck" actually happening...maybe you can rig a water cannon buried on the fringes to startle the deer? I understand that keeping these away from edibles is a very consuming hobby for some...keep the camera handy!
