Deer damage last night, a few tips and young leaves. Fertilized each plant with 30 gallons 0-50-30 Beastie Bloom
Sunday, July 28 View Page
I cut off 1 secondary and disected it. I pulled out 9 SVB. Either go big or stay home. They will get you. To be honest I did not take care of the patch this year after the early season deer attack. Last year the garlic barrier helped a lot. I will still have some 400lbrs for the yard.
