Gardening

One year, before my fence, they came and ate all the green tomatoes off my plants, and all the leaves on the jalapeno plants. But they didn't eat the jalapenos!

I have heard (from the guy at the Farm and Fleet store) that a deer can jump a very high fence, but they need a running start. They are smart enough to know that if they jump into a small garden, they won't be able to get out. So we put up a five foot wire fence, and haven't had any deer go in. Now my plants are only threatened by slugs and bugs.

My garden is about 17 x 20 feet, too small for a deer I guess.
