Every Spring we purchase hanging flower baskets from Menards in Minot. I don't go "whole hog", we usually purchase the cheapest ones on sale for about $6.00.
They seldom last till the first killer frost because we often lose interest and the sun bakes them to death due to our lack of diligence.
This year was a little different as I watered them nearly every day because of our drought so I never really forgot about them. What was different was that two of our baskets hung in our garden area that is fenced off to keep out the deer.
About three weeks ago when Carol and I decided we had our fill of tomato's and squash we took the fence down. Over night the deer came in and ate nearly everything including the flowers... right down to the dirt!
As you can see some of the plants in the pot refused death and started to grow back. Today the first bloom appeared with another close behind. The growing season continues for it and several other plants now in my office.
