A Deer Fence???

As you should be aware, the deer are continuing to cause problems; in particular they love roses. Whilst we have taken temporary measures to protect the beds of roses in the front, it is a bit more problematic with the climbers on the pergola. The thoughts of tubes of protecting wire around each rose didn't enthrall and so, we're working on the theory that we can discourage them from entering the garden by blocking their entrance across the fields. (Ha, ha!)

You need to be made aware that this red and white cordon is not the finished article but an experiment to see if the deer can be kept out of the garden. It doesn't match the aesthetic standards required of a fence in this garden! We will keep you advised of the success (or not) of this latest deer scaring initiative.
