Coming to work this morning at 8:39 (Friday is a late day), a deer walked in front of the truck. She had followers so I stopped to let them cross. They spooked. There were a total of 2 does and 3 or maybe 4 fawns. They were headed straight toward my house.
The depredations from deer this year have not been bad. The 8’ fence and the human hair might have helped some. Something has been eating the ghost pepper leaves, but that is probably a possum. It did not eat the peppers and possums are a good thing because they eat poisonous snakes. They are more likely to eat the compost than the veggies in most cases.
Last year the deer ate the pansies. They like azaleas too, but the ones in our yard are well enough established that it doesn’t really hurt them. It just prunes them. My real fear is for the blueberries. The leaves are pretty in the fall and they might taste good.
