I'm concerned about a wayward white-tail deer who I believe chomped my tomato plants and ate the leaves. He seems to have staked out our property as his own.Good call on getting them into their homes.
The year is moving along and you still have all your plants. You've left them with hubby for a trip, grown well into spring, and have survived cold spring and some storms. All the plants are still growing. OMG !!! Your problem this year might be too many plants surviving. Oh, what to do
Around here every farm has deer fencing, every small tree is rubbed raw with”buck runs” .Every hedge has a “water line” where the deer eat the hedge. It looks like a high water mark , every where. The used to eat the flowers out of my window boxes. One deer, you are lucky!I'm concerned about a wayward white-tail deer who I believe chomped my tomato plants and ate the leaves.

Okay, spill the beans, what's it called?
Don’t you have a gun you can fire a round off from when you see your suitor? That might dampen his ardor a little! Might raise the neighbors, anxiety level a little though! Don’t remember seeing you having any kind of a deer problem in past years! No! Scratch that idea! You’re just a tad out of compliance!
Deer typically don’t like the smell of dog shit I leave 5 gallon pails of it out on the perimeter seems to work well but once the corn is getting ripe the coons get to smashing it down and eating it but they leave my girls alone so there’s a trade off going on . I’m going to put up an electric fence about a foot off the ground and see what happens if that doesn’t work out comes Winchester grrr I like my corn . Did your cold front rip by fast?I'm concerned about a wayward white-tail deer who I believe chomped my tomato plants and ate the leaves. He seems to have staked out our property as his own.
I have a few electric fences for different pastures. The isolated pastures use solar powered fencers. The top strand is about 5 feet tall. Deer easily jump over this, and also slip easily between the strands on the run. They work, but aren’t foolproof. The best method I found to keep critters away is to have a dog. Critters seem to know when dogs are around.
I hear you! Around here they’re mainly used in conjunction with other fencing with insulators just to keep large animals from getting too cozy with the fence! People around here that are serious about keeping deer out raise their fence up to about 10 feet! A lot of people put something on the fence so they can’t see what’s on the other side! I guess deer won’t jump over a fence unless they know what is on the other side! At least that’s the scuttle butt!
When I lived in Alberta farmers would get barbers to keep hair for their hay stacks they would make sacks from nylons and Tye them onto the wires that weren’t electrified and deer wouldn’t go near it . Weird but true
Sorry it took me so long outside working

Thanks for the name and link. Hubby uses the mint oil to deter small critters, didn't know it worked on deer too.
Your going to be very busy with all those
