My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
I also get out early every day to harvest, and then I spend the rest of the day dealing with the harvest---washing, sorting, processing it for fresh eating, or processing it for canning, etc. If I have time, I go out in the evening to harvest again, mostly because that means I am able to start canning first thing in the morning the next day which lets me get it done before the temperatures get too hot.
Dorothy, They have eaten my pepper plants, back before we put up the taller fence, but only very early in the season when the deer are still skinny and hungry from the long winter. Later in the season, they wouldn't bother them.
I never can figure them out though. They'll eat every sunflower plant that I plant some years if I am growing them in a spot where the deer can reach them, and other years they won't touch them at all.
I don't mind sharing some of the harvest with the deer---when we have oodles of cucumbers, Armenian cukes or melons, I'll slice some up and put them out beside the compost pile around sunset for the deer. I don't like it when they harvest all of something for themselves without leaving some for us though.
