mutant deer alert

16 years ago

A deer led her two little ones into my garden and proceeded to eat my pieris japonica. Leveled one and started on another when I managed to pick my jaw off the ground and scare them away. It's only mid-summer, with lots of greenery, they shouldn't be doing this, right? And that shrub survived many winters with only a nibble or two.

They've also eaten or pulled out all the bungleweed, which was disappointing but not entirely surprising. Dicentra is gone, too. The pachysandra are safe, for the moment.

Going to try some bishop's weed and/or mint along the path they follow at the edge of my property line. Maybe that will keep them from drifting over to get to my boxwood and berberis, because they seem oddly vulnerable now...

Has anyone else experienced anything similar?
