They eat the leaves off our tomato plants when they get REALLY hungry. I've only seen that once or twice. Maybe their normal forage up there still hasn't grown? Maybe you need to thin-the-herd by a deer or two?

Deer eat everything that grows, especially something you have planted. What they don't eat the ground hogs will.

We are overrun here with little frogs, about 1/2 inch long. They are everywhere, on the first floor window screens every night, I've had a few sneak in through an open door into the house.

Forgot to switch the feed back on last night after I had the ash pan out. I got to practice my lighting ritual. I'm getting really good at it. :?
