Deer Are Eating my Tulips - March 28th, 2006 at 10:57 AM
I "HAD" looked forward to seeing my enlarged tulip bed bloom this year. I plant for effect (meaning I plant the bulbs too close and it looks wonderful when they are all blooming). A herd of about 10 deer maybe more have been frequenting the 1 acre of land between my garden and the neighbors garden. But apparently they have been in my yard at night. Most of the buds of my tulips have been chompped off and alot of the leaves also, some of the bulbs have been pulled up and left laying on the ground. What can I do to save my tulip bed????? The bed is about 4'x 20' and in the front yard near the gravel road. Oh and I live out in the country. Before I enlarged this bed I had no problem with the deer, but there weren't 10 or more hanging out around here either.
