Weeds and Deer

The twin banes of the late garden have struck.  Weeds of course are and ongoing problem, and with a little (or a lot) of sweat and steel can be handled.  The bushy tailed varmints on the other hand are a real problem.  So far it is a single deer with a somewhat finicky apettite.  A bite here and there is not a big problem.  Lately however, Bambi has developed a taste for beet tops and radicchio.  It's definitely too late to start putting up fences and I'm not up to pre dawn patrols of the ultra secret garden, so I guess I'll have to hope for a little intervention in the shape of wily coyote or someone with a taste for out of season venison.
