This tree will be hanging by this little strip of Cambdian layer

On a less annoying front, I've got paperwhites well on their way. Which is truly strange to me as September was so warm.

Back to deer. Must be a young one, sneaking their small heads through a protective cage and trying to chew off a branch

Sorry about the deer destruction. I hope that the plum recovers.

My firespike (Odontonema Strictum) was so bushy and full then the deer stepped in for a snack and it's lost most of its leaves. I doubt that I'll see the late fall blooms.

Oh dang, I hate to see damage like that.

Chattering on: I looked out the window late last night and saw a buck coming across the field headed my way. I made the snorting/barking sound that deer make when they sense danger and that stopped him in his tracks.

I immediately rushed out and sprayed home-made deer repellent on the shrubs and the one agave growing by the street. So far that's been keeping him and his brothers from horning the plants out front.

It seems the does have been keeping their distance recently. Maybe with all the rain they have plenty of fresh grass out in the fields to graze on.
