The game’s afoot!

I went out to water the tomatoes this morning and found this. A pair of deer hoofprints, and a couple of feet in front of them, an opening in the tomato leaves and a half-eaten tomato still on the vine. I’m trying to connect the dots here… hmmm….

We had a similar “day after” tale told last year. They would try the tomatoes and scamper off. Then one day we found a couple of half-eaten tomatoes, then a half-eaten pepper, then they never bothered us again. Obviously next year we need to plant something really spicy with the mix.

As for this year, I think our corn doesn’t stand a chance.
