The Problem With Gardening




Besides the abundance of trees in our yard, providing us with shade and privacy and lots of leaf raking in the fall....the above photo shows our main excuse for being unable to grow a productive vegetable garden or keep blooming flowers around for extended periods of time.

Deer Hollow has been given a proper name.

We have counted at least 8-10 of these four-legged creatures on numerous occasions this past year. We really hope they head up the hill. They are looking much to at home in our yard.

We are hopeful that the next photo we post of our yard will much more alive with color!

Yes, I am a little tired of the buddies as well! Last night both dogs just sat and watched as the deer were tromping and munching in the freshly turned soil in the garden,as if they were impatient that there was nothing growing there yet. Even the canines at our house have accepted these deer buddies as family. What's a gardener to do...

The moose up here in Alaska don't have a thing over those deer! How amazing! I'm with Janelle - make some sausage or something.
