It is always a battle with the browsers here. You wouldn't call them aggressive, but they're only a pinch shy of it, brazenly walking on my back porch steps to get 'round the various lines and noisemakers I've hung to deter them. Nor is it that they're short of natural food, though I have to agree that a tender, juicy tomato is better fare than crackly grass and withering ferns. What baffles me is why they are even eating "deer-resistant" species such as hostas and crocosmia. Frustrating, but at least this year, I can say I got a crop (loosely termed) of tomatoes.
365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!
