You Build a Keep out the Deer Contraption! My mom had this great garden growing this summer and then she noticed that something kept nibbling on her beautiful plants. She discovered it must be the ground squirrels she had seen that were burrowing holes in her yard, she got bait to take care of them (Riley even put bubble gum down one of their holes so they would choke on it)(MEAN!)Then one day all her bean plants had vanished - she was hoppin' mad! She was bound and determined to get to the bottom of this. Her detective work paid off - it was the deer - she went and bought stuff to spray on the plants that was suppose to keep the deer away (it smelled awful) - obviously the deer didn't mind the smell because they just kept eating! So in a moment of brilliance she devised a plan to keep her garden safe - and this is her solution! Hey whatever works! All is takes is a few lawn chairs, a ladder, some old screens and putting this on the plants at night and taking it all off in the morning. I think it sounds much easier to just buy vegetables at the store!

LOL! That grandma, she is hillarious! It's a good thing she has lots of chairs and screens and ladders! I still think we just need to get her an airsoft gun and let her at'em! (The deer and the ground squirrels)
Glad to see you are back to some bloggin!! I missed ya! Plus it's been almost 2 weeks since I've seen ya and I'm having withdrawals!
Momma told me about her contraption with the lawn chairs, so it's fun to be able to see the picture to go with the picture that was in my head! LOL! Home grown veges are soooo much better than store bought! My problem with my late-blooming tomatoes is that just before they are ripe for the picking, the dad-gum BIRDS are pecking at my beautiful orange/red tomatoes! GRRRRR! Who wants to eat a half-pecked tomato? Not me! Damn mocking birds!
