Hi Sandra,

Yes, deer are very, very plentiful here and we do not live in a wooded area, 
but in a city.  When we built here in 1958, we occasionally saw deer in the 
fields, but they didn't come into the garden.  We used to grow over 100 tomato 
plants, as well as squash and cucumbers, but in the last 10 to 15 years, the 
deer have decided we have the best food.  Our neighbors don't have problems 
because they only have grass and evergreens.  I forgot another thing the deer 
like.  They prune our apple and crabapple trees during the winter and reach for 
any apples and pears they can reach as they get close to ripening.
