I see a lot of bites on the Solomon's Seal and False Solomon's Seal. Got plenty of that. The vege garden is right beside the road too. While it is a country road there is enough traffic to scare critters. It is a major motorcycle route and they are LOUD.<BR/><BR/>We have plenty of Evening Primose, three species I think.

I'm sure the animals are curious about the new activity, and will become less wary and even MORE curious about the new vegetation. I've noticed that sometimes my wild evening primrose will serve as a "sacrifice plant" next to an ornamental, being devoured by caterpillars while my perennials remain safe.

We have noticed that the rabbits that were such a problem in the veggie patch earlier in the year now have enough other vegetation to eat and all the food stuffs are untouched. It must be a seasonal thing.Frances,https://www.blogger.com/profile/03616568389165362993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611983692965659884.post-21751152875085152062008-06-26T22:43:00.000-05:002008-06-26T22:43:00.000-05:00The bunny is a scary sight, tho' perhaps not as ba...The bunny is a scary sight, tho' perhaps not as bad as red and yellow flowers.<BR/><BR/>I just bought some Liquid Fence to keep the stray cats from shitting in my backyard garden, and the neighbor's dogs from urinating on my front steps. <BR/><BR/>They sell a formulation for deer too...

Reminds me of the place we had in Whittier, N.C. I know what you mean about some people that don't pay attention to being on someone else's property. They are too use to rambling all over without regard for others even to taking what they want regardless.<BR/>I am patiently watching as your home continues to become complete.

Perhaps there is enough food in the wild that they are not curious enough about the veggies - yet. I have had simultaneous gardens in 2 areas 60 miles apart, with largely similar plants, and have noticed the deer in each location eat different things. <BR/>And what about 2 legged critters coming along the road?
