We've talked deer repellants before but..
Comments (15)Using a baseball bat ends up bruising the meat something awful! So does using the car or truck. Trip wires kinda work and the only thing that really does the job is properly installed deer fencing. Deer evidentally have an underground newsletter where they fill each other in on which yard has which plant and which human has the best aim... So, you may think you can outsmart them but it seems that nature always gets the prize. I have connections to some elder hippies that moved to the country to organically grow produce and herbs. When they first moved to the wilderness they were total peace-niks, blessing their newly planted trees with pyramids, smudge smoke, and rythmic beatings on a tom-tom. Nowadays their conversations have an entirely different flavor. They are advanced marksmen and giggle with glee while they chase wildlife into corners or up a tree to blast away at them. One most disturbing story is when they were both driving down the gravel driveway and came upon a young buck. The wife (who was driving) pulled the truck off the road and rammed the deer up into the pasture fence where it got its hooves and antlers entangled. She jumped out and started wrestling with the beast while her husband stood by the vehicle with his jaw agape. The true sign that things had changed for these two was when she immobilized the traumatized deer with her bare hands by wrapping his back legs around each other and yelled back over her shoulder for a something to bash its head in with - a hammer! a shovel! anything!!! I'm not that coarse. And I like venison, but for some reason they haven't found my unfenced backyard....See MoreWe've done it - we've actually bought a house!
Comments (20)Sally, congratulations. I love porches you can actually sit on and the floors will be lovely when they are all polished up and done right. I actually kind of like the cabinets in the kitchen but the black appliances are kind of dark. Keeping the floor the shade it is, it will probably look a lot bigger with lighter cabinets, countertops, etc. Of course, I'd just paint everything white, LOL, except the floor! And I love that old tree, it would make a great "horse" for a little cowboy, also a fort to protect him from marauding Indians and a great outlook to spy outlaws ready to attack and maybe a ship discovering new worlds and very possibly a rocket.....

Comments (44)I'm sorry you lost him Rita. (Rita) I wish you wouldn't beat yourself up. I am certain you were the last thing Rex saw. Rex had been in cardiac distress for sometime before you got him to the vet's office Monday and by the time he was taken from you to the back most likely he was was too far gone to know or recognize anything. Lori Bless you and Bless Rex. He looks like he was quite a character!...See MoreYAY we've got our forums back!!!!!!
Comments (6)Hi annie, and carol. Yes I was absolutely desolate when the Houzz "new broom" swept all our history out the door. Mind you, GW had crawled to almost a halt but at least it was THERE. I don't like changes, old dinosaur that I am, but it's good to at least be back on the gardening "planet". Yes Annie it's me from the GC - how are you?...See Moremaire_cate
