8. Deer in the garden 🤬

I have 5 handsome young bucks in my garden area almost every day. My garden plants are covered in netting and in some cases fenced with chicken wire. I cannot put up a decent fence, ie one tall and substantial enough to keep the deer out, due to HOA restrictions. The netting has been pretty successful but what a pain in the nether regions to get into it for harvesting, etc. There is nothing that will repel deer and other critter with much success other than physical barrier. I will say however the 5 bucks are very handsome and healthy looking. Soon they will be in rut and looking for sweet young does - time to protect the trees from their antler rubbing.

The rabbits have been especially prolific this year also. 🤨
