Bows - I’ve got some deer over there! You should see my sunflower plants, where the deer have started stripping all the leaves off. My deer density is reasonably high for Northern NY.

For whatever reason they aren’t touching the peas, I don’t know if they don’t like them or if it’s like brassicas, where they need a year or two too get a taste for them.

Man every time I plant them the deer treat them like a small bean plot and hammer them as soon as it comes up. I plant them but know it’s just candy to get the deer there

It has begun. Deer are starting to camp around the edges of the field and strip heads. I hope I have enough seed that it keeps ahead of the deer and I have some make it to winter, but that's not usually the case.

When it gets doughy they chow down. I don’t have a seed head left. I think I’m gonna mow to get some tillering.

I do the same, but usually throw some wheat and rye seed down before mowing.

Just too early here to do that. Still too hot.
