I'd been so proud that I'd foiled the deer. I should have known that I'd be punished for being smug.
So a deer (I'm pretty sure it was a lone one) got into the garden.
As near as I can tell, it stuck its head under the deer netting (irony!) and over the wire mesh then jumped through the gap. There were a few foot (hoof?) prints below where it came in.
Once inside, it topped off one of The Boy's cucumbers.
It then meandered down the garden and went after some of the sweet potato leaves. Thankfully, those things are proving to be darn near weed-like in their spread. Despite a fair amount of damage, we still have a lot.
Once it was finished there, it went back down the garden and went out through another gap in the deer netting.
I have done some rudimentary mending of the fence. I will also begin installing the 1x6's along the seam between the wire and netting. I'd hoped to put it off until the fall, but I guess I can't put that off any longer.
