Looks great, I made sure my CRP planting had partridge pea in it because of your advice from this thread and deer preference. Yours is looking beautiful. Do you notice the browse on the plant itself or the flowers generally?

I see them browse it, and I think it mostly is on the leaves of the plant. However, I'm usually watching from a distance with field glasses, so they may be eating the flowers as well. They like feeding in the lanes. New growth starts coming up when the sunlight hits the ground, and they seem to like to browse the old growth on the edges. I guess the mowing makes it easier for them to see what they want.
