Over the last couple of years, we've slowly been adding vines to garden trellises, mostly in hopes that they will give us blockage from our neighbor's rather untidy yard at the same time as restricting a few of the vagrant seeds and weeds that blow through the fence. This summer we've had to add deer to that list since they've discovered that they can simply walk through the trellis. I tell you, the raccoons out here have nothing on deer ingenuity. As as result of a mid-afternoon visit this week, I'll be spending August and September working with Bruce on repainting trellises and putting up deer fencing which should serve to keep them out until the clematis can do the job by themselves.
To the left in that picture, you can see some new plants that will find their way into the lily garden alongside the beauties below.
Sadly, the gladiolas that were beginning to come into their own ... met an untimely end as a deer salad.
