My son's area is infested with deer. It is not unusual for him to see as many a 7 deer in his backyard at once, and it is unusual when we visit for us to not see at least one deer while there. The only way we have been able to deal with them is to only plant nightshades, they leave them alone. That pretty well limits our garden to things like tomatoes and potatoes.

Wayne, We cannot put food out in the fields and expect hungry animals to leave it alone. None of those wild animals go home to dinner at 6 pm every night. Or any night. We could put up a no trespassing sign, but I don't think it would help. The human is supposed to be the one with the most smarts, so what is the answer? What is the responsible thing to do to protect crops? Put up a fence. Or plant somewhere else. I hope no one is shooting deer. Faith G.

Good Evening Mike,

> Wayne,

what state do you live in? Jess

Ummm, bliss?

   Glad to see  you have a

little time for the list.


   Often it could win an award for Variety.

   I hate to talk so much about growing, but seems several are

interested.


   Likely today it is more important than ever and does have an

effect on

our health.

   The store prices are awful, and the quality

is poor.


    If anyone has a window sill, a deck or a patio, they can

grow

something for sure.

     Adequate sunlight is a requirement,

even I can not grow without it.


     It can be so simple it is

amazing, when a few basics are done right.


     After the basics, one can

play with the more technical stuff, if they

desire.

     Plants and

animals have always amazed me at their intelligence.


     The deer are

giving me problems and I have never liked to hunt at

night.


But when they start walking over and breaking my cantaloupe and



watermelon vines, I get upset.  Not to mention they are eating the peas

and

soon the corn.


I am looking into the very best and somewhat expensive

light for my

favorite rifle.

Generally I set up a clock and observe

it a few nights so I know what time

they decide to visit
my field.
Am considering a "Barking Dog" sound producer. So far until recently the moth balls and a few other tricks have kept them out. 

Oh well

.......... who expected the world to be perfect ?


Wayne
