Did you all forget about the problems we had with deer in MO? They were as bad there as they are here and they were so darned destructive.  Here’s a post about the fence we put up to protect the kitchen garden.  This is a post as he was building the fence.  And this is what we did to keep the rabbits out of the kitchen garden.  This post shows some of the fence we had put up around the garden in MO and it shows the deer, which I counted to be 17 that night.  I think the fence was 10 or 12′ tall and it kept the deer out so we’ll be putting up that kind of fence around our garden again.  We also put a line through the center with flags (strips of fabric).  We’ve heard that deer have bad depth perception and if they aren’t sure exactly what space they’re jumping into, they won’t jump.  We didn’t get a single deer in the garden in MO.

We’re definitely not strangers to having to battle the deer.  We had them in Kentucky, Missouri and now here in Texas.  We can live peacefully together but it takes a good bit of work on our part.
