The deer are beginning to enjoy the first flushes of green out on the Palmer Divide. Even in Elizabeth. It is now against the law to feed the deer in Elizabeth, but luckily there’s plenty for them to eat anyway. It’s also against the...

We have been busy this year with the garden and the rains have been coming more often. In the northern parts of Louisiana we don't get as much rain as in the south, thank goodness, the gourds rot because of it in the south. For a while we had a drought...

Our lavender farm was graced this morning with a visit of a doe with triplets. The babies are wobbly on their legs, reddish brown with white spots, and quite adorable. The mother seemed unperturbed by our presence, and calmly kept grazing on grass, while the...

I have read about many deer repellent and tried a few, the most cost effective, until now, is the garlic and egg mixture. I say, until now, I had not heard of what a family in my church has come up with. The father and son sleep in their garden to...

Thursday I'm calling the peach thinning for the year about 90% complete. I've thinned all the peaches twice already, but as they continue to grow, you always notice some that should have been thinned, so we'll have a little touch up thinning to do over...

While spreading more compost today on our various crops, I noticed the deer have been in the field again!! Time for drastic measures........I check the electric fence, and discovered it is not working. It took a little while for me to get up the courage to...

I love Black-Eyed Susans, (otherwise known as Rudbeckia). This is not just because of their natural beauty, but also because the deer don't eat them in my garden! I've heard that rabbits do like Rudbeckia, but fortunately, I have 2 cats,...

Friday November 20, 2009 - By Shanan
Well, this morning is the start of Illinois' early season shotgun hunting for deer. I walked outside to feed the animals and heard quite a few distant gunshots. The morning was cool and foggy, but the deer must have been moving.

This is a recipe from Colorado State Extension Office. The commercial brand of Deer Repellant is quite expensive, I thought you may benefit from this tried and true recipe. It is quite weather resistant and needs to be sprayed again in 30 to 60...

We often see two or three deer crossing our driveway as they head from one field to another. Usually it is just before the last light is gone from the west and all we can see are their silhouettes as they go by. Saturday evening they came earlier...

So what does Spring smell like? Maybe not what you would expect. Around here long before the spring peepers make their first chirp, before the robins return, before the outdoors begins to smell of thawing earth there are two sure signs that spring is on it's...

I spend most of my time indoors during the winter -- especially this week, as it has been at or near zero degrees during the day for the past couple of days. There's nothing I love more than being outside during the spring, summer and fall, but...
