debs_flock, those deer sure can tear things up quickly.
Other than eating apples and pears they pretty much us alone. Plenty of other greenery here, and it might help that the adjoining property (owned my wife's cousin who bought my FIL's dairy farm) had been growing feed corn they liked, he switched the field to alfalfa this year. Maybe the deer will like that too. I know our goats will, the fence is down between our pasture and his field.

Mary, I guess we'll just each keep our own little crowers.

My big, brown vermin decided to pay a visit to my yard again last night.

Think they like plum trees?


Fortunately they couldn't reach most of the fruit.


And they don't appear to like the three lilacs I just put in.


Glad I took pictures of daylilies yesterday, they are apparently a favorite. About 40+ buds and flowers.................GONE!

They'll be back for the leaves.









At least they don't seem to like plumbago and I do!


But we built fortresses for my new beloved Banks roses, even if it does look like a prison camp right now.

I swear, if I wasn't afraid of attracting mountain lions, I'd be tossing a few carcasses over the back fence.

It's just so darn frustrating! All that work planting and waiting for blooms and all for a snack for the deer. Daylilies are their #1 favorite food! You've got to get some Milorganite. It's considered a fertilizer, not a deer repellent, but that's what everybody uses it for. I go around with a pail in the evening and dump some granules in the spent daylily flowers. By morning the flower has withered but those granules are still in there - right up at deer nose level and they don't like it.

I saw two big varmints in the pasture today. One had a big limb of a plum tree pulled down to the ground and the other was eating all the fruit!

Looked a lot like Jack and Diane.

You sure? I don't think you've ever heard anything quite like our little guy.

Funny this was on my fb today.

At least you don't have vermin this big coming into your yard! I think the mama is telling her kids, ok enough, now find those plum trees! Mama is huge!!

Mary, Diane and Jack were framed ,they told me to say this., Actually the perps were two deer wearing costumes to be incognito- it fooled you!

and i spotted one of my locals standing up on her hind legs to try to snatch more cherries from my tree -- unfortunately the ravens have already pilfered most of them anyway...
