Deer continue to appear in my yard, too. I found this footprint in my front flowerbed, the one right against my front porch! The mailbox flowerbed was bad enough, but six feet from my house?!
Those impertinent deer had better be glad that I live in the city, that's all I'm sayin'.
I walked around the yard and dumped chili powder on all of my plants. I saw 5lb bags of red pepper at an asian market yesterday. I think I'll have to go back and get some.
I'm working on a better solution for deterring the deer, but I haven't finished thinking the design through yet.
Meanwhile, in happy news, the calendula have appeared!
It looks like those weird little pod-looking things were the seeds. (I was concerned that the seeds were in the pod, and that I needed to break the pod apart.)
I didn't see any signs of life from the other seedlings in that tray, but I'm very glad to see the calendula. :)
