I planted my pumpkins in the manure pile. They usually can grow a bit
before the giant rodents (aka deer) find them. In fact, usually the
rodents are content to wait until the female flowers appear, then they
attack.

This year, the night I planted them they got to my little helpless
seedlings before I could fence. Arrgh. At least they didn't get them
all.

That thumping noise is the sound of me kicking myself. Next year,
planting and fencing will occur simultaneously.

Vent over.
Thanks.

Thanks for the warning! The corn will be up soon, and I have some
electric fencing that will be going around the garden.

Will a low electric fence deter the deer, or will I have to put up
something they can't jump over?
