Deer, that's all a small garden is good for.I don't have the space or ambition for a large garden, and a small one is good for a lot of work and tending and caring and feeding just to get one small harvest which is gone in one or two meals. I have some tomatoes ready for planting, but going to try hydroponic this year, just because.
Otherwise, flowers are much more long lasting, varied, and come back every year. My miniature yellow iris are already blooming.
Track them by their stinkle. Then BOOM!And I'm now in a deer war.
Went to make my second asparagus picking, all nibbled to the ground. I didn't even realize they liked asparagus. So my day yesterday was spent putting up posts and rope.
Counted 25 of those large rodents last night. They gotta go.

The second picture looked like a mortar rack.So far this year, applications of deer repellent have kept the deer away. They really love the daylilly flowers, so crossing fingers.
Hydroponic test is going ....ok... The tomatoes aren't as strong as the ones in the ground. And I didn't expect any of the iris in the back garden to bloom this year after digging them out, thinning and replanting. Surprise....

The flutterbys and hummingbirds must love your gardens!Sometimes, you have to just sit and appreciate all the hard work.
