The Fence Seems to be Spoiling Dinner for Bambi

Since the gate was installed on the Bambi fence, no deer tracks have been seen in the garden. The depredations on the young plants has been minimal and mostly attributed to Bugs Bunny. Ricky Raccoon does not seem to be bothering the garden, but I believe he has been trying to get into the beehive.

A have-a-hart trap will be placed under the beehive tonight. If Ricky stays away he won’t have a problem. If he doesn’t stay away, he will have a very bad night.

Everything in the garden has come up except for the okra and some beans and cucumbers that were fill-ins for things that didn’t come up. The fill in sugar peas have come up and the yellow squash in the front yard has come up. Dill and zinnias were planted in the front yard on Friday. The zinnias have come up. It may be a little early for the dill.
