Deer wreck havoc as do the smaller creatures so we tried something which may sound crazy but I learned this in one of my classes about controlling deer. Hang mothballs encased in cheesecloth.
This seems to have worked!

Reworking the Prairie Garden
This has nothing to do with plants although in a way it does because the reason I have not been posting is because I've been so busy in the garden beginning this Spring when Ed and I decided to tidy up the prairie garden. Here we have aggressive plants that want to do their own thing. Here you see survival of the fittest.

Phil planted five American chestnuts (hybrids, actually) near our cabin in Ohio last spring. He put chicken-wire cages around each one to discourage the deer. He grew three from seeds received from the American Chestnut Foundation. The other two were from seedlngs that just suddenly arrived in the mail last March from the Foundation. All five seem to be doing fine.
ReplyDeleteLovely about the chestnut trees and what a feat to have grown them from seed. Spectacular!
