Deer, aggghhhhhh

This was a Kokio about to bloom. It was covered with buds - yesterday!

That is such a bummer. Luckily we don't here deer here.

ardesia, sad to hear about what happen to your Kokio, like Jon said, what a bummer, If that would had happen to me I think I would be having deer meat for dinner. Sure hate when your waiting so long too see the blooms open and you wake up the next day and something got to them before they opened. You should try to get a type of sensor sprinkler I saw once on TV, all it does is that when is when an animal comes close to the sensor, it shots out burst of water that scares the animal away before any damage is done to the plant.

Hope it puts out more buds for you soon.

There is a funny story about that gadget on another forum. The person said it seems the deer must have enjoyed their showers because after a few weeks the deer started showing up with their shampoo and towels when they came to munch. LOL

LOL! I'm just sitting here laughing my head off, LOL! Would you happen to know what shampoo brand they use.LOL!

LOL. Too funny. It's probably Johnson & Johnson's "No More Tears" baby shampoo. That way they wouldn't have to worry about wiping their eyes.
