Re: The deer question again.
Beth,
I have deer all the time in my yard. The worst thing they did to my plants
was eat a few mature leaves. Not just nibble, but completely ate the whole
leaves. Very mind boggling if you ask me, I thought they would go fo the
more tender growth. Hope they go away if your going for the big numbers!
