So another season starts. We had a tough winter . We can always see how tough it was on the deer by assessing the deer damage.
While we spray the trees with a natural deer repellent it was clearly noticeable where we could have done better. The Frasers outside the fenced area surprisingly did not have any damage because we sprayed them hard . We were so worried about them as they are like caviar to the deer. Other areas where we sprayed lightly did not fare that well but the trees will recover.
No deer made it into our 8 ft fenced area where we grow most of our our frasers and balsam firs. The deer traffic to the house got so bad that they were constantly setting off the alarm from cameras we have around the house and other buildings . We had to turn them off to get some sleep.
Here is a picture of what they did to the shrubs.

I know many will ask, "Where is Marilyn?" Unfortunately, Marilyn will not be able to be present and work at the barn this year, as she has been admitted to Potsdam Hospital. She needs to undergo surgery, which will take her out of commission for this Christmas season. Marilyn has been struggling with intestinal problems this year. We are all hoping for a speedy recovery.- Hans Welbergen
