Planting Under Trees - Part 9: dogs n' deer

» Marge_Talt - dogs n' deer

Hi Clay - threw me a bit seeing "DaffyClay" :-) I will never get used to aliases!

Anyway, I know what you mean about lap dogs, but I bet even the one you have would go into a total frenzy if a deer popped into the same space it was occupying!

Also know what you mean abou the fox. We have one and I really enjoy watching it. Once, on a lovely early summer's day, I happened to be looking out of the conference room window - wishing I were outside and not chained to the office inside - and I saw it dancing on a wood chip pile. That's the only word I can use - dancing - it was obviously enjoying itself and the day. The one we've got has a red head and tail and a grey body...kind of a hybrid, I think.

Raccoons, I have in quantity. We would have to hang the feeders from skyhooks to keep them out - and somehow, I think they would manage to figure out a way to fly to get to them.

I do hope your fencing works. Mine still has some weak spots as the dratted deer are getting in. Not the part where I put the wire down - that seems to be working, but where I have brush and it's not thick enough. When I get done prepping for my new plastic greenhouse, it will be back to the woods to gather every bit of deadfall I can handle and create even more brushpiles outside the fence line so they can't get near it!

Bambi is a lot of work!
