Weekends, Rain, Deer and Hosta
Weekends, Rain, Deer and Hosta Well here it is the weekend again and guess what....they are predicting another weekend of rain in New England....what gives with all this rain? Doesn't the saying go "April showers bring May flowers"? Well here we are half way through May and it seems we are getting a ton of it....will it ever end or are we in a perpetual April do-loop? So what do deer and hosta have to do with weekends and rain? Well nothing really but it's just another one of my gripes I thought I'd share...hehehe... As you know I live in Rhode Island about a mile from the beach but the neighborhood I live in is quite heavily wooded, which means we have a lot of "forest nature" as well. A few years ago they disallowed hunting in the woods all around this area so the deer have started becoming overpopulated. Now, deer are cute and all, but my poor hosta plants are taking a HUGE beating!! It seems that the deer absolutely LOVE to eat hosta and they have a feast in my yard!! Each year they start coming up so nice and full...looking absolutely lovely....then guess what...chomp, chomp, chomp...the deer decide to enjoy dinner night after night and before you know it all my hosta are nothing more than stubs. We have tried everything to keep them away including this horrible smelling stuff that is made from cow's blood....it keeps the deer away for a couple of days but then inevitably they get used to it and start chomping away again. And of course you have to re-apply this stuff after each rain...LMAO Hey, see I did relate the rain to the deer and the hosta. Oh well, have a great weekend everyone...see you on the flip side. AM |
