Now It's Serious Business!!

At first we were nice to the deer by ignorning them even though they were eating okra leaves. Then they continued eating all the leaves and progressed to the pods of okra and just left the stalks bare. We put fishing line up hoping to discourage them so they would stop coming. That didn't work!! Nibbling on the young corn plants and tops of green bean plants made us decide to "get serious". We put up an electric wire around the okra (the leaves are trying to come out again), corn and green beans. Hopefully, they will decide to go where the hunters are putting out deer corn for their meals and leave our fall garden alone!
