Deer - again

Well, the deer have discovered the tomatoes. I wondered how long it would take before the destruction of all my beautiful plants would begin, and now I need not wonder anymore. All three tomato plants are eaten down by half, and most of the flowers are gone. The deer ate the tops and sides they could easily reach by leaning over the bunny fence; it's only a matter of time before they eat all of it, I'm sure.

I think I'll plant a couple more plants next to the house, without compost-enriched soil, in the hopes of getting at least a few tomatoes this summer.

Last year they ate everything. But I feel unusually disappointed this time. Logically, I expected the deer but yesterday I just fell in love with those plants - they were so lush, so beautiful, and smelled soooo good. My attachment was too much, I reckon. A giant cosmic lesson.

They didn't touch the bean plants. I wonder when they'll be eaten. Of course, dear readers, you'll be informed as it happens.
