Glad I planted so much deer food on our RV lot.
Yes, I'm being sarcastic.
Everytime I peek out the RV windows, I spot neighbourhood deer munching our newly planted trees. Guess that's one of the downsides of living out here in the BC wilderness.
The genius that said aspen trees are deer resistant was obviously talking about urban deer, cause our rural deer love baby aspen leaves.
They also enjoy autumn blaze maples.
But their fave snack seems to be the sweet gum trees.
My complaints aren't really serious. In fact when we see the deer out there, we don't bother chasing them away. They were here first.
I just hope they don't start telling all their friends about our tree buffet ...
12 more sleeps til we hit the highway :)
We have used commercial deer repellant on our plants as well as bars of soap, egg spray, and bloodmeal. None of it has worked 100%. I think fencing is the only answer.

I have been in therapy 5 days a week. Latest news is that in about 4 months I will be getting a total knee replacement because of the severe non repairable damage to my knee joint. So you won't see us down south in our new RV. Please keep up writing your newsy blogs! Also it is not nice to hear about your stock market loss, but all of us investors have had it happen at one time or another. We all love when it goes up, and get depressed when it drops.
