Re: re:Newly reenlisted


We have a lot of deer at the house and I have never had them touch an 
Iris... could be because they have all those fabulous daylilies to 
munch on... they love those.  I have 3 dogs and they have now been 
moved behind the garden.  The deer aren't afraid of them but don't 
hang around long because of the barking.  Cows on the other hand... 
seem to like iris.  I have some planted that I thought would be out 
of reach of our field we ween the calves in... well there not and 
they love them!
