Hi Beth! Good to hear from you again! I am visualizing you apologizing to your gangly irises (blooming already! brave souls!) Haha! That’s how I felt when I found the mashua roots. Yes, the deer here are brazen. I wave my arms about and they just stare at me. They clean all the leaves off the lower branches of the apple trees. We still get plenty of apples, though. I figure a lot of people would give anything to see deer meandering around their backyards, so I’ve decided we can all share the landscape. I give them a smorgasbord in a safe place. LOL. You stay healthy, too! Spring is just a month away!

I missed this blogpost somehow, they are always so interesting! The photo of the buck deer at your bird feeders is a classic! Our deer clean up apples and the branches our apple trees that are not fenced. But they haven’t the courage to come to the bird feeders…..yet. I am trying to supress the spring fever. But today I did dig around in my garden shed until i found the pots with mini iris bulbs. The poor things were not only sprouted, but lanky and long with purple flowers already! I brought them up to the porch and gave them an apologetic conversation along with some water. My garlic are all doing quite well. Thank you for your posts, stay healthy!
