Wonderful post, so cool to catch the fawn, they are beautiful creatures,I think they are both exciting and calming to watch. Sometimes I will go out in early evening to the fields and sit and watch them have dinner. Plenty of deer up here, 😍
Enjoy your day
Thanks! How do you keep the deer out of your gardens? Hope all is well up there. We have massive amounts of bugs this year that are making being outdoors less than pleasant. I must need more birds! 😉
Hi good morning Melinda.
We use chicken wire fencing for somethings but our real secret is using an egg and milk mixture, sprayed on the apple trees, baby pines, and other newly planted trees, as well as other veggies that they can reach.
Most of our garden has raised beds now, so that helps also.
And the bugs, yep we get these soooo annoying May flies every year. We wear mesh head cover over hats to keep them from eating us alive.
Egg and milk? And it works? Share your recipe.
I had thought about finding someone that could build me a U-shaped raised planter that I could get into on my scooter and reach across. It would have to be low enough that I could reach it while seated, but my bigger problem was finding an area in my yard that had enough sun that I could grow veggies. My solution was to join a local CSA and let them do the work and spend my gardening energy growing a couple of plants on my deck! 😁
The recipe calls for 6 eggs to one quart of milk. Use a hand mixer, mix well then let it settle a bit. Pour into spray bottle and spritz plants well. This stuff works great and we have tried all sorts of other methods, and it lasts you only have to spray when new buds come out in spring and apply once or twice to veggies the whole growing season.
I love your u shaped raised bed idea, but you can still grow lots of stuff in containers also I do both.
