I think I've been extraordinarily lucky to have only seen them once in
30+years. Now, deer are another story. My tomatoes are in cylindrical cages.
everything outside the cages is nibbled. They eat all new leaf growth on the
sweet potatoes, as well the cantelope vines. I discreetly tried to hire a
bow hunter friend as a hit man, but he's not into doing Sopranos-style
contract work.


I guess you folks know sweet potatoe leaves are edible. I think of
them as low growing malabar spinach.
