:-) Paul...just add it to the list. Among all of us, we should be
able to come up with at least 100 Ways To Kill A Plant and publish it
somewhere for mega bucks:-) Had to laugh at your post tho' not at
the sorrow of losing your seedlings!
Find that charger! Bambi is hungry and eating everything in sight;
they'll get those foamflowers for sure. I have the old, common
orange daylily along our drive. Those outside the deer gates have
been mowed by bambi twice now - avg. height 2"...those just inside
the gate are a foot or more tall.....every time I come up the drive,
I bless those gates and that fence; worth every ounce of sweat to put
in:-) Must say, tho', the landscaping outside the fence does look a
tad strange. The daylilies will revive as the deer ought to leave
them alone in a week or so and wait until they form flower buds to
hit them again.
