Wednesday, April 4 - As we had our first frost yesterday and with recent cool mornings we have been experiencing, the deer have been edging closer to our flower and vegetable gardens looking for food to eat. One morning a few weeks ago, I observed two deer trying to get bird seed out of one of our feeders at 4am!!!
I have been fortunate up to this point, that I have had minimal damage from deer. I usually walk my dogs around the perimeter of my garden 2 or 3 times a week. I also have placed cut human hair in nylons and placed this in the garden. Lastly, I have hung from a stake an aluminum pie plate hoping the noise on a windy day will scare the deer away. There are many deer deterrents you can purchase at your local garden center or home improvement centers, however I would recommend one of my suggestions before making a trip to your local center.
