I should have seen this coming. I left the garden gate open for one night and BAM the deer ate the tops off my swiss chard. I was letting those leaves grow really big and fleshy to make my stuffed chard. Now I guess I’ll have to fashion some recipe that just uses the stems. And wash off the deer spit before using.

Lesson learned. Don’t leave the gate open. I can’t imagine trying to fight deer. Bunnies and gophers are bad enough.

We’ve put Fear of Dog to the gophers and chipmunks by brushing Pidi and Molly on the periphery of the garden a few days each week. They’re not the issue. It’s the deer. I was out this morning and they ate all of the bits of the cucumber plant hanging outside the fence.
