Deer Loving Planters


When I removed chubby a few weeks ago, I started preparing a new garden bed in his place. I observed an opportunity to show off my curving stairway which in the past was hidden from view. I dug out some pots in my work area and filled them with a good mix of soil, leaf compost and well rotted manure; headed off to the local nurseries to find some interesting selections. I planted a number of different plants but I found out that the deer seem to be passing on most species and chowing down on the new flowers on the Gerbera. They like both cultivars. Out comes scarecrow number five. Tonight they will be getting a surprise when they go to feast on the last remaining flower.
