Caught In the Act!
I watched long enough to get a picture then I politely asked him to leave at which time he disappeared over the back fence in a flash.
All this time I had been blaming the turkeys and the squirrels for the over pruned flowers. I only planted three Lemon Queen sunflowers this year. They’re the one good for bees, not deer.
Who is nibbling your garden?

Oh my. Nut fun to have him eating there and yet what a delight to see him.

Deer can certainly do a vast amount of damage. My late mother-in-law used to cover her emerging plants with empty yogurt cartons to protect them from deer which roamed thorough the garden from an adjacent wood. Not pretty, but what else do you do when at your wits end? Some people string old CDs through plants to scare predators. Of course, that only works (if it does) when the sun is shining.
In the winter it can be hares which do damage in our garden. Standing on their hind legs, it’s amazing how high they can reach to decimate shrubs of leaves – even prickly holly.

You’ll be interested to know we live far from the forest. The deer would have had to cross major roads to get to our neighborhood. We could add a few more feet to our fence with wire and he couldn’t get in, but I enjoy his company so far. He seems to be an elderly gentleman.
I should have put yogurt cups on my strawberries thanks for the tip.

I’ve got a fellow who looks just like that! Also, since the cats are indoor residents, the bunnies are having a good go at – well, everything, really.

When we lived in Cleveland, the deer would eat the flowers off my daylilies. Very frustrating. As more and more construction took place in the suburbs, the deer were more and more in everyone’s yards.

Deer in Cleveland! Interesting how we push wild life to where they don’t belong. I’ve heard tell of mountain lions around the Bay Area!!!

At one time, there was a very large estate about two blocks from where we lived. Not long after we moved, it was sold and eventually, an upscale shopping area, set up like a village, was put in. That drove the animals out of the places they’d lived and they had to go somewhere else, such as our yards, at least during the evening and night.
