I warned her that they were caged for a reason, but she removed some of them any way. That reason is a bunch of these:
As you can see, they are quite bold.
And everything that was caged no longer has leaves. There isn't a hosta leaf anywhere on the property; only stems.
They particularly like to eat asiatic lilly buds the day before the flowers will bloom.
I'm not interested in fighting nature, so I've been pulling together a list of deer "resistant" plants that will take the place of the ones they've mowed down. And I'll move the tastier treats inside the pool fence.
