Damn Deer. 6.21.2021

Deer have broken into all of the fenced areas where I'm growing squash. Squash has a reputation for not being a deer favorite. However, they have always eTen away at mine. These fences are not tall, but I hoped that the narrow area woukd be a deterrent. I sprayed all of the squash plants with Liquid Fence. I found an old bag of Milorganite lying around, and spread that too. I will need to be vigilant. They eat giant leaves and succulent young growth tips. The aplants can handle losing a few, but once it starts the animals keep eating them. Photos dont show much - you cant photograph what isn't there. I think tomorrow I should see if I still have some net barriers. That may help too.
