Aren't they sweet? I know, I almost lost my hibiscus and penstemon to deer. My hibiscus is in an old ferret cage and my penstemon is covered with some old alm. screening. WE live in town too. Well, not yet, but it's coming along so it should be soon.

i am plagued by squirrels.....no dear deer though. they are so sweet!

Kathjb - I'm glad you only "almost" lost them - hopefully they'll be able to recover and regrow!

I goofed on my pictures - I thought I sent another, further, picture. I'll try it again and I'll also try to make it a little smaller. Sorry I'm so technologically challenged - thanks for being nice about it!

I hope this works. It seems when I add a photo here, it changes my past photos here. Oh well, look fast because it may change next time! Oh boy, I need help LOL.

Looks like the deer are growing quite well.

AJ

Thanks for all the nice comments. I know it's not garden junk but I thought these two were sooo cute!
Njtomboy - I went to the site you recommended - cool! I'm not very advanced when it comes to this little box I'm typing on right now but if you want to use the photo - go ahead, take it and good luck!
AJ - I got to your posting and Laughed Out Loud! I hadn't thought about how well the deer are growing!

Thanks all - Colleen

How cute can you get?!! It's only a matter of time before I have them in my yard. There's a park near here.

In this yard...it's chipmunks! They undermine some of our plants and must eat the roots. I don't care though...I get so much enjoyment out of watching the destructive little critters!! LOL

Our place is like a mini-wildlife sanctuary. I sit in my swing, and bunnies, squirrels and chipmunks walk right under me. One night, much to my surprise, two baby raccoons came walking across the patio. I love it here!

Thanks for sharing your great pictures!

They look like TWINS!!!!
I would love to have some in my yard.(I Think)!

Egads, good thing they're not here... my neighbor would shoot at them, he's an ol' farm boy. They're really pretty aren't they? Even though they're destructive little buggers.

Oh how beautiful they look, well not for your plants but they sure are pretty. Have you named them yet?

Oh my, Bambi and Faline decided your garden makes a very nice bistro! I was on my way home from the hospital to visit Bob a couple of weeks ago, when a doe walked out onto the road very slowly. I thought it odd because deer usually cross the road in a few leaps but she walked out like she was out for a leisurely stroll. When all traffic stopped, two babies like those in your garden went running across the road like a shot. Mama followed suit right behind them. They are the sweetest little things!

Sugarmaple you are sweet. I can't post your picture as only the actual photographers posts....

I actually joined the group to improve my skills.. I am really liking this photography thing... Now I can take pictures of all of my junk turned jewels, and trash turned treasures... LOL

I still think you picture would make a great greeting card! LOL

I love critters.
Great pictures.
Thanks for the website NJ, great stuff.

How beautiful they are!

I have the same problem here in Colorado. The deer wander through my gardens at night. I had one particular plant that they seemed to love, and it would get chomped right down to the ground on a regular basis. It was pretty agravating!

In my vast variety of yard art collections, I also have old deer antlers laying around. Last summer I took a small set of antlers and stood them up alter style around the plant they liked to eat, and I have not had a problem since!

I guess they must think the last guy that ate my plant must have met up with a bad ending, so they stay out of my gardens now.

They are so cute. A friend of mine claims that Irish Spring soap hung in a mesh (reused onion) bags keep the deer away from her garden.

They are really sweet! Nice photos. It looks like they have left some of your garden plants intact. Mine were nibbled too, earlier this spring, but have recovered since. Hope yours do also.
