Since they frequent the open field behind me people are all the time suggesting putting out a salt block. (Don't even know if that is legal.) As much as I want better photos, I don't want them to find my daylilies, one of deer's favorite. By the way I found you by going to Lilacs & Roses after she visited my site.Leedrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04914177127665868671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-15254002922812263792008-07-08T12:22:00.000-05:002008-07-08T12:22:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Skeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222522533934405029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-48867797821040001562008-07-08T12:21:00.000-05:002008-07-08T12:21:00.000-05:00I spotted some weeds too!

We checked out a community at the lake and it was hilarious how people had flowers and plants behind wire, mesh, screens and just about everything you could think of. Some people even had electric fencing around their front yard!

Some people used rounded river stones as mulch because the deer didn't like standing on them.

I have heard that the soap Irish Spring is the one to use, lots of perfume maybe. The wild petunia could be of the ruellia family. That could be a bad cut from the fencing, it is so sharp.
