This morning I discovered they did a job pruning the Joe Pye weed in the pond garden. Fortunately some is too high for them to get to.

Some of the day lilies have new shoots coming up that were missed. Thankfully the later blooming day lilies were ignored.

I've been so busy keeping my hostas sprayed I forgot about some of my other plants they like.<br />They also ate all the leaves they could reach of a Kwansan Cherry I planted last year. I have 9 acres of woods where they can graze to their hearts content, but no they Serenity Covehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00378941749467418225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8449493418758964410.post-38325337129710874072013-06-16T21:45:48.634-04:002013-06-16T21:45:48.634-04:00Put out some traps to catch the smaller critters.....Put out some traps to catch the smaller critters...

We will be gone from Wed-Sun... We'll also use the Liquid Fence before we go.. BUT--there is no guarantee... Looks like you may have 'other' visitors besides the deer. I do know that groundhogs will eat lots of the leaves, etc...
