I haven’t been by in awhile, getting caught up in RL. But it’s wonderful to see how things are coming along in the “holler”!! Very cool, and I am very happy for you, your family (human, canine and feline…)!

We got elephant poop once at the circus. It worked well–can you imagine what the deer thought had done that!

Barking dogs are the best deterrent I’ve found for deer. We’ve tried hair–it works until it’s rained a few times. Dog poop ditto. Aluminum pie pans can dissuade birds and deer but aren’t very pretty. Blood meal (you can get it at the garden store usually) also works until rains wash it away.

We live way out too, and generally the deer don’t bother much of our gardens or trees. But this year we don’t have the two big barking dogs we used to have, and I’m worried. Our old cocker just likes to sleep!

I have heard of urinating around plants, and also the milk thing. Here’s another one…go to your locl beauty salon/barber shop and askethem to save all the hair clipping. Then scatter that in your flower beds. I have tried them all and they all have worked. Don’t plant any tulips…it is the favorite of the deer. They don’t like daffodils.

For Deer my mom swears by soured milk poured around and on the plants and beds, she has flowers and shrubs everywhere! along with herds of deer and her flowers always look great! she also uses someting called liquid fence. Me, I usually just kill everything before the deer have a chance! The house is looking great!

I’m betting that your cousin Mark is holding the comforter hostage……did you ever return his shirts?

Never buy a tree on sale – both my daughter’s boyfriends bought me a tree for earth day last year and we even were able to convince my husband to plant it in the front yard (didn’t want to mow around it) but, alas, it didn’t make it
