A month ago I wrote about my husband's four-tomato-plant garden.  Since he is a retired seeming-full-time golfer, that's all he had time to do.  I thought he was crazy when he put hair on the tomato plants.  And for you not to think I'm crazy, you have to go back and read that blog.  It's a continued story.

While rummaging around in the garage I opened a strange bag.  The contents?   Hair!  Ugh!

He has announced that the @@#%!@#$ deer are back at his garden!  They've been chewing on his tomato plants again!!  We had peace and calm and what he thought was victory for a month.  Now he discovers that the vicious deer are no longer afraid of his hair trick.

His barber told him that hair loses its strength in smell and oils after it has been in the rain and weather. Therefore he brought home another batch with potent smells and oils.  Another tip was that soap will scare the deer away so now we have a shortage of soap in the house but a lot of it on the four plants.

He has therefore announced that he supposes he could sit out there guarding the tomato plants all night (with his shotgun) and when the deer come to the plants, he'll fire it into the air and scare the living daylights out of them and they won't come back.  He wonders what the neighbors would think, however, so I THINK he has discarded this plan. 

Geeesh.......... Pictures below show the magnificent garden, nibbled plants and you can take your choice of red hair or gray hair.  Blonde may be on the other side and you can also see a bit of soap.   Geeessh!
