thanks so much for your help. I've never bought on Ebay and when I tried to order I got this message:


The following must be corrected before continuing:
City - Please correct this information.
Shipping costs cannot be calculated for this item because the shipping calculator is currently unavailable or the seller has not specified shipping costs to your currently selected address. Please select another shipping address from your address book and try again.

Huh? The city was correct and why would I want it shipped anywhere else.
Is this like uploading pictures?? Don't smack me curious!!

It's time to start planting your vegetable gardens if you haven't already. Tomatoes can be put out in those "wall of water" water greenhouses because they protect the plants from freezing. They also provide a greenhouse for the plants and they grow a lot faster. You can use them for other vegetables too such as peppers.

Get another one and keep it inside for a while in a sunny window.

Lightbulb ANYONE could have eaten it.

Where we are up North ---

slugs and snails
crickets
grasshoppers
voles
DEER
rabbits

I've had whole plants disappear in one day up there. It feels like the whole world against me sometimes!
So I have decided on container gardening. This is working much better.
(so far).

Also I found a tip on the net which I am also going to try...
Shavings of Irish Spring soap, to protect plants from being eaten.
Sprinkled around the base of things you want to protect. They dissolve in
about a month or 2 depending on rain fall amount.

I bought the Deer Fortress, and will try those too.

If Deer and Rabbits are hungry, they are going to eat the plants. The Soap, hair, home remedies are not going to work for very long. Even putting wire over the plants. They eventually eat what they want and move along.

I posted a link earlier in the thread for Deer Resistant plant material and you may want to try to put some of those around the perimeter of your yard.

The biggest problem is humans invading the deer habitat. Put out a salt lick for them and hope they stick to that and move on to greener pastures and co-habit with you.

I live in an area with deer, elk, foxes, and antelope. The foxes eat the gophers but not in a large enough quantity so unfortunately I lose a lot of my trees in the nursery. I have to call the county pest control squad to come out and poison them. The upside is that their predators don't eat the stomachs so they are not harmed. The deer nibble on the trees but they also eat the grass that I plant to hold in the moisture so I don't have to water as often. It's a trade off.

Let me know how the deer fortress works. I've not seen one at work.
