You should ask Lynda Hoffman about her deer solutions. She had a bunch of them visiting last year.I'm loving the rock paths. Hi Ruth, Wow lots of work in the garden since I last looked.

I can't wait to see you go nuts with plants. I'm going to do the garden tours this weekend with mom so I think we are going to skip the garden party at Villa Catalana. Please email me your updated contact info, I wanted to call but only have your old home phone. Ruth,

So far I've planted lots of heather, a few different types of maples, a few false cypress, a few california lilac, grasses and more. When everything fills in a little I'll post more pics. I'll keep you posted on the deer tom-foolery too :) Thanks for the encouragement everyone!

I use 3 ft bamboo stakes weaved through the top of my fence with green plastic ribbon (I believe deer are color blind) extended to top of each bamboo and this makes my fence look taller, apparently it fools them and deer are hard to fool :-). When there is a breeze it ripples, very cool and it has worked. I notice that a farm down from me does something similar. As for the front of our property, well they have had a feast on plants! Mom with her baby too. Sounds like you are busy, but will reap the rewards! Hi Ruth,

It's looking just beautiful. The bandanas are a great idea! I look forward to see if they work to discourage the deer. Love your new paintings! Hi Ruth, All that work will be so worth it, won’t it!
