Vegetables

I got very few veggies last year, but deer were not the problem. I had a deer enclosure built some years ago, and it lasted far beyond my expectations. But it had become an eyesore, so I pulled it down in the early spring. I ordered a crop cage from Gardener's Supply, which arrived promptly and sat in its box.

I turned over the bed, added three bags of LeafGro, and finally, finally, planted the vegetables on June 1. I have three tomato plants, two eggplants, and one pepper. Plus basil.

Bambi came by a week ago, and I hadn't built the new cage yet. It's not total devastation, but it is definitely a setback. Each plant (except the basil) was sampled.

I got motivated and put up the cage a couple days later. It looks good. I'm sure it's Bambi proof.

I don't think it'll keep Thumper out, but I don't think she'll be motivated enough to do a lot of damage.
