RE: Who named them "deer"?
You can keep deer out of your garden by taking your worse sweaty stinking
shirt you can find the more body odor the better and hang it up in your
garden. Also human hair spread around the garden will keep them from
coming into your patch. Bet you did'nt know that human hair is great added
into your compost or garden, it contains 14% nitrogen, thats alot.

They sure aren't dear to me.
I have been growing two AGs, kinda side-by-side, carefully measuring and
fussing over one and blithely ignoring the other. Tonight, I decided to
measure the second pumpkin for the first time. As I worked my way through
the vines and leaves, I noticed a bunch of deer tracks, mostly on the
periphery of my garden -- none that I could detect very close to the
pumpkins.
However, there's an oval-shaped area of bite marks on my second gourd. It's
about 6"x4" and about 3/4" deep. I don't know if it will be able to scar
over or not. I certainly hope it does. Its OTT tonight was 209" -- 3.5"
bigger than my fussed-over AG!
Dang.
Oh, well. I guess the deer were mad at me for having such a crummy corn
crop this year.
