I saw a motion detecting sprinkler on Amazon to determine deer

good boots, layers, keep dry and do not tie things tightly which cuts off circulation. i would go out and walk in blizzards and found it very peaceful and great exercise. for some reason i didn't worry as much up north about people driving and running over me or snowplows. around here, i don't like walking up and down the road in the middle of the day in the summer. people just don't pay attention to where they're going...

I had inherited, when we bought this property, pvc about 2?3 in. I wired it onto each fence posts that holds the field fence all around the fruit trees. Then I put 3 evenly spaced rows of hot pink field tape all the way around as high as I could go. The deer have not jumped it or tried to.
This year I need to do the same around my garden. We have a new small heard of black/gray deer and they have been in the large padlock close to the yard and garden, which is fine I am glad for them to eat down that field. But,, as long as they stay outside the boundary line. When I am at my desktop I’ll find a pic of the fruit trees. I think I posted one in 2023.

Everything except parsley and sage have sprouted. I need to mix up some more soil and start the next set of perennials. I hope my oregano survived the cold, because I can't find my oregano seeds. Licorice should seed this year.
