I was so disappointed last year - I had put in 64 tomato plants with the hopes of shelves of sauce to last me the winter.....we were lucky to have gotten a dozen or so salds with tomatos because of the rain.
Deer also like immature cantelopes - hubby had been thrilled by how well the lopes were doing and so devastated when we were out there one afternoon and discovered every single on was gone...6 vines produce a lot of lopes and we didn't get a single one. Same for the watermelons.
I would have so loved to bag one of those well fed deer - it would have been tasty, besindes all the corn, cantelopes, and watermelon they wiped out more than half my hot pepper and I had 14 varieties growing.
Jax is no longer sick, thankfully, but is home form school today - we're headed for the store in a little while and then hopefully I'll be able to stop at the garden center an pick up some herbs.
How frustrating to lose so much of your garden to the rain, and the deer. I read Aqua's remedy to keep the deer away - interesting!
