The f#*king deer have gone too far this time! I was fine that they demolished the zucchini plants and the beans and the peppers AND the tomatoes, but not my pumpkins! Once they decided to eat my pumpkins last night, they crossed the line. I only have two pumpkins left that they haven't touched. Next year, we will either be getting a fence or a gun. I know which one is more affordable....
The zucchini plants had a good run. They grew in abundance this year, so much so, that I have handed out tons of extras and frozen about 10 cups of them grated for bread this winter. These last two were left on the plant because I thought the deer ate them all, and they just kept growing and now they're huge!
