ONE of the deer.

So far the only damage I have seen done to my garden from the deer has been eating down my milkweed. I can see where they had eaten off the tops of some other weeds before I got the fence up but they have not bothered the morning glories or other flowers yet.

The deer can eat all the leaves they can reach and all the grass they want. I'm surprised they have not gotten a taste for corn yet. On the farm it got so bad with the deer eating the corn that Dad put some kind of 'pop gun' out in the field to scare them away.

Reading online, it says that human voices are supposed to be even better than wolves at keeping deer away. :) Talking to my neighbor who also gardens, he says he has gotten within 10 feet of this deer before it will run away.

A couple of Smaller vermin.

The one I saw in my garden was much bigger than these two. I don't see where they are doing any damage to anything outside of my fence yet. So far my re-planted garden is not up yet so I don't know if the bunnies will get back in.

Another couple of days of weeding.
