Re: thistles and deer
yeah thats the trouble, for a couple of years my idiot neighbor thought they
were pretty and let them grow everywhere she didnt have lawn. For a couple
years after that i had a thistle lawn etc. She is up wind. I moved! :-)
Like with any of those nasty weeds that look so pretty, if you let them go to
seed they multiply a thousand fold or so.... My new neighbors gave up on
growing anything in a garden because anything that tastes good to people gets
eaten by the deer. Anybody know if deer eat pumpkins?!? I usually just
plant enoguht veggies so the wildlife can take half of it (despite my efforts
to the contrary) and we still have a good yield. With only enough space here
for 1 big pumpkin, that approach doesnt work....
