Congrats Heather!! Hope you are feeling ok... have you been on bedrest in the past for your blood pressure? Or do they give you meds for it? When is the big day? (if too many questions then just ignore

)

oops, sorry, just read back and noticed you already said you are on meds

Good Morning everyone! Anyone have any great ideas to repel Deer from my Vegetable garden? They are at it again- last year I didn't get anything out of my lower garden because of the deer and groundhogs.
 
Good Morning! I've heard, but never tried, that bars of scented soap (like Irish Spring) hung in mesh bags (think those like onions come in) keeps them away. Don't use tasty smelling ones, like Reese's honey oatmeal, or you might draw them!

Due date is December 23. Yes, I have been put on bed rest a couple of times because it was too high, even on BP medicine.

I can't afford that-I have 5 children to take care of, as well as two girls that I need to take to school and pick up each day (8 miles each way). Jason is a truck driver, but he is home every day, which is a huge blessing, but he works 14 hour days and has a 45 minute commute to work. Our families are 500 miles away, so that doesn't help either.

I was reading somewhere if you use used soap it will deter them (used deodorant also) I figure I will take everyones suggestions and mix them all together and try them all at once and something has to work.
 
Heather- congrats on the pregnancy! and thanks for the deer control funnies!

My husband is so funny, He thinks we should have a lot fewer chickens and gave me the silent treatment for a whole day when I brought home 2 chicks from the gilmanor swap (and 4 for a friend, but I had promised her chickens that I couldn't give her after I found out about the MG so he might have thought for a second I'd really brought home 6 when really it was only 2 that LOOKED like 6.

But anyway...we have a broody Dorking in the goat house and when we were cleaning it today he found out she was only sitting on a golf ball and felt bad for her so gave her a couple of real eggs to sit on. isn't he sweet!!! (I very quickly switched them out for eggs I actually wouldn't' mind hatching verses mutt eggs but he doesn't need to know that)
