Gardening

When deer eat things, they tend to crop it off about six inches from the ground. That's how you tell it is deer. They ate all the tomatoes off my plants once, and they eat my hostas, and even my rhubarb! Got a fence around the vegetable patch now, but not the rhubarb--that was a real surprise, since the leaves can give you a tummy-ache, or so I hear.

We live on the edge of a game preserve, and also are not far from a state forest. Lots of critters in our yard.
