I hope I don't jinx it by saying so but I think I have outfoxed the deer this year. They haven't been going in my garden as often this summer. I believe the secret is I suspended the deer fence above the crops the deer most like to eat - my sunflowers. My scarecrow didn't work. Suspended length of shiny tape didn't work. Blood meal didn't work. Deer fence laid across the plants didn't work. Suspended deer fence? Working so far. I suppose they don't want to get tangled in that netting. How nice, for once, if I can bring my sunflowers to bloom instead of having the tops bitten off leaving me with a disappointing row of sticks.
