I can't forget about them for a day... I go out and do a walk around about every other day. Today I saw that one had walked up to the pear tree...
...and beavered a hole in the net big enough for me to put my arm through.
It's a seriously big hole. And it is at least a foot away from any branch. There must be hundreds, if not thousands of twiggy little trees that they can eat all over this countryside and yet they have to walk up the sidewalk and put special effort into eating the one tree I don't want them to ruin
I just clipped a second layer over that area. You can sort of see the green clips on the corners below. I guess at some point I am going to have to use new netting and wrap twice around.
This is not your tree!
Deer really stink in so many ways
ReplyDelete!! Like you said- there are so very many trees everywhere that they could easily snack on! I’m going to wrap my new peach tree even more now.. No snow down here yet, but I’d be happy with a small amount!

They seem to take obstacles as a mental challenge. The harder I try, the more determined they get.
