More and more scapes mean -- make more Deer Cocktail for me!
Last year, had lots of scapes one day [ took a pic to document ] -- next morning, the were gone ...
Very neatly bitten off by local deer ...
So, as soon as I see scapes ---- out comes the cocktail [ which also is good for aphids ]
Deer Cocktail:
water
liquid soap
hot sauce
salad oil
Don't measure anything, but make sure there is plenty of hot sauce in it. Then, go spray the scapes!
The salad oil helps keep the rain from washing the cocktail off.
These two escaped the deer this year ..

This isn't a dress-rehearsal ~
