I've seen opposums, raccoons, white tail deer, pheasants, turtles, and I'm sure somethings I've forgotten. It is a thrill just to see them, and a bigger thrill to catch a good photograph of a little visitor!<br /><br />Thanks for coming by and for taking the time to comment. :)Marciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582731584317660272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352399.post-17517284961666637832009-05-09T17:30:00.000-04:002009-05-09T17:30:00.000-04:00We don't have deer.

I had great success keeping the deer off my pear trees by hanging a nylon stocking with hair (from my son's annual summer hair cut) last year. I'm sure some other trick would work on the tulips.<br /><br />As for slugs, I can't remember Sharon's tips, but I've read lot of things Marciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582731584317660272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352399.post-46687007933525308512009-05-08T10:35:00.000-04:002009-05-08T10:35:00.000-04:00I read somewhere that the only really 'safe' sprin...I read somewhere that the only really 'safe' spring flower is the daffodil! I've heard of planting tulip bulbs in pots. Doesn't Sharon Lovejoy have a slug solution? I gave away my copy of A Blessing of Toads so I can't look it up. And Aisling, I just love the picture of you on the sidebar. What a great representation of you and your life!Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352399.post-49925592912061974232009-05-08T06:55:00.000-04:002009-05-08T06:55:00.000-04:00Tabbie,
