Those Doggone Deer

Every year we love to hang bags of impatiens on our garage. The Hubs loves the looks of the flowers, and he is the one who takes the tme to water and deadhead them every day.

We have been having lots of problems with deer eating the beautiful flowers in our garden. I have gotten used to tulips being gobbled up before they even bloom, and lillies being buds one day and sticks the next. This is the first year, though, that the deer have come right up and eaten out of the bags.

I keep threatening to buy one of those motion-sensitive sprinklers, but if the motion detectors on the flood lights don't deter them, I'm not sure a spray of water would do much more. This is really getting to be a problem.
