Under Siege!

See those sticks in my garden!  Well, yesterday, those were tomato plants!!  Today, they are just sticks and I am at war with Mother Nature - well, not exactly with Mother Nature, a deer, one very hungry deer.  Oh come on . . . we have 30 acres of trees and shrubs and bushes.  You can't tell me that you can't find anything to eat out there MS, DEER!!!  Give me a break!!

OK, I can be reasonable about this.  No, I am not going to hire a hunter.  I believe that you (Ms. Deer) and I can peacefully co-exist.  So after some research on the Internet (don't you just love the Internet!!  And Thank God the deers don't have access to the 'Net!!)  Here is my plan of "attack."  HOT PEPPER SPRAY!!  It was either that or raiding the nearest hair salon and begging for hair (that is Plan B!).

Hot Pepper Spray.  Boil 1 quart of water with 1/2 cup of crushed hot peppers.  Drained the water through a filter or a sieve to remove the peppers and put the hot pepper water into a spray bottle.  Spray everything that you do not way the deers, etc. eating.  Supposedly, this will work!  If not, I will have a "hairy" garden tomorrow.  Wish me luck!!

    Raising goats were never in "the plan."  If you had told me 12 years ago that I would be raising goats, I would have laughed in your face!  But, at a Valentine's Day Party at my son's Kindergarten, the local Vet showed up with two pygmy goats.  As the saying goes, it was love at first sight.  And the rest is history . . .
