at least we don't have to fence our new trees.



Depends on the tree and its size... fruit trees, whether ornamental or
not, are at greater risk... but after like five years the saplings grow
tall enough that the fences can be removed. I don't mind the fences, if
it's something I want to grow and don't want eaten by critters then I
fence... there'd be no way for me to have a vegetable garden otherwise.
And still there are the birds, so I also net. I'm not into conservatory
gardening.



Aw, so you have the same problem with deer that I do. We are having to
fence in our back yard, but it is certainly worth it to live in the
country. I grew up on a working cattle farm and missed the country when I
had to live close to a city for work. Now, I'm able to live in the
country again.


Well, what's an old cattle farmer gonna care about a little fencing. But I
don't consider the deer a problem, they were here first and have every right
to be here. If I wanted to live in a sterile environment then I had no
business moving to the country for retirement. I enjoy looking out my
windows and seeing one kind of critter or another... I don't care if a few
rabbits eat my lettuce, I just plant extra. I actually buy carrots and
bread for the deer, I can afford an extra $20 bucks a week... I get far more
enjoyment from the critters than from some stupid movie... last time I paid
to see a movie they were showing double features at the drive-in and it cost
less then $5 bucks with popcorn, and with a fifteen year old gal who'd let
me feel her tits.


And I bet you put her in the trunk to get in. Class act.
