The Herd

My daughter, Rose,  sent these photos yesterday evening of our herd settling down for the night. Only eleven of the fourteen are in this group. As you can see, this is their habitat. My job now is too remove my artificial food source.

Deer herd eating in our yard

I am making decisions about what stays and what goes in the gardens. The criterion is
Do the deer eat it?

Poor hydrangea

If the deer eat it, it will be removed. My favorite daylilies will be moved inside the fence. The rest will be given away. I also have deer on the mountain, so I will not be taking any there.

Now that the herd is more hungry and less finicky, they are eating plants they used to ignore.

Most of the herd next door

Here is the purge list:

Solomon seal

Lily of the Valley

Daylilies(except favorites)

Tiger lilies

Hydrangeas

Sedums (not in pots)

I refuse to be part of the problem any longer.

Relaxing before dark

I have spent enough time and money deterring the herd.
