The War is On.

We've been incredibly lucky as far as NOT getting any deer damage to our plants.  Until I saw this yesterday.  Bastards.  That WAS going to be a lily.



The Arsenal:  One bar of Irish Spring, grated.  Lots of little jars.  Water.  Mix 'em up then set the little jars near the plants most likely to be victimized.  The mister would like to pop her in the ass with a bb gun but since she's got that fawn I vetoed the idea.  For a second.  Then I said, "If you catch her in the act, shoot her right in the baby!"  

PS:  That fluff ball in the middle of the plant is Monster fur.  That's supposed to deter them as well.  Ditto bloodmeal.  If none of these things work, we move on to human urine. 

PSS:  I put this plan into effect yesterday afternoon.  Early this morning as I sat here typing, I heard a chuffing.  Uh huh.  There she was, eyeballing my garden from the neighbor's driveway.  I scared her off.  Good thing for her the mister wasn't awake yet.

Jewelweed, Soap Tree

The jewelweed is just starting to bloom.

Just above it, I've hung Irish Spring soap from a tree.  It gets wet, drips down and makes the plants taste like shit.  Deer don't like that.
