I had such high hopes for this gardening season, but one thing led to another and I didn't have much time to spend in the gardens. The deer ravished every plant that they found tasty, especially the hostas, before I got around to using the product. Between the weeds and the deer damage, the gardens are looking pretty sad, the worst that they have looked in years. Next year will be better LOL. Does every gardener think that? Anyway, I'll be retiring after 34 years of long commutes and working full time at the end of Feb and am looking forward to being able to have the time to garden day in and day out to my hearts content. I'll definitely be able to test out that repellant next spring. I'm slowly eliminating the deer candy from my gardens, but so want to keep hostas. If it keeps the deer away from them I'll be ecstatic. I'll flag this post to remember to post an update.
