There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

This is not much but I have 10 , 12 deer in my yard at all times except if my dog is out. I made these boxes and put up these fence and made a raised bed garden. Should have some Jersey tomatoes in a month. 🙂

Nice barricade, Max.  Do the deer try to eat those marigolds?

Hopefully AFTER they've attracted all the aphids.

No that’s why I put them there they don’t like those too strong a smell.

Actually marigolds attract the bugs that kill them like lady bugs.

They are a very good companion plant for vegetable garden at least that’s what my Grandfather drilled into my head. 😳

They are! I plant  calendula in my garden every year for this reason!

I have that and Italian parsley in pots on my deck with my flowers. Have had very good luck with my tomatoes and zucchini and string beans and snap peas over the years but my nemesis are damn eggplants. This year they actually look pretty good, we will see.

Our buddy @Aldous Burbank shared some of those dried cactus fruits he collected. Truly food of the gods.
Are we having fun yet?
