Thanks to Dorine, I am growing heirloom tomatoes again. This time, I have lots of blossoms!! Not sure why, but I think when I was concerned this year, I stopped watering for a few extra days. They say that this stress can cause blooms. And, the deer are getting fat on my grapes, they have eaten them all, ate my cherry trees, but they cannot get my tomatoes. I pulled part of my fence and used the material to just enclose my tomatoes!! So far, the only thing in the garden area they have eaten is a squash plant and the grapes.
I installed a game camera and I caught them red handed entering in through my driveway. On the way to the garden, they eat my roses and nibble on my citrus trees. And, my row of photinia which lines the front yard is nibbled down where there is no fence. My wife said they need to eat also! I reminded her one day soon, that if they eat, then we won't. Will have figured it out by then!!
