Deer and Tomatoes


We have little tomatoes setting on our plants again. I browsed the internet for a solution to the problem of the deer feasting on the green tomatoes. One solution is the use of human hair. Since my beautician grew up with my daughter (they were like sisters), she agreed to save hair for us. Yesterday, we tied human hair in little pantyhose bags around the garden, then scattered the remainder in the area where we believe they enter. We will let you know how it worked in a few weeks.
Our other problem is that we have beautiful squash plants, but no squash. I talked to another gardener this week and they have the same problem. We will see if this cooler spell of weather helps them set on. So far we have reaped one cucumber and about 10 green beans from our nice big garden. Not much for all the work we put into it.
