The season of deer and cute little bunnies. Somebody tried to tell me that deer don't eat leeks; so I must have a malevolent gnome who takes evil glee in trimming leeks off at soil level. Tulips and day-lilies cropped to the roots. Now planning the annual chicken-wire fence corrals for green-planting, something bunny-rabbit-proof that will make one transplanting necessary instead of the inevitable three.
Every rose shrub growing inside a wire cage. Let nobody criticise wolves and cougars in my hearing------
