No telling what is going through the minds of those deer. They only went after the two larger Meyer lemon trees, and ignored a bunch of small ones we have planted elsewhere. At the same time they took a liking to three Satsuma tangerine trees, but not interested in other varieties. Nor another Satsuma in another area.
Last year we had a rat chewing off branches of a Cara Cara Navel tree between our garage and shed and dragging the branches underneath the shed. I guess making a nest there. I had to use a live trap to catch that varmint and then use a .22 to make sure he (or she) never did that damage again.
Sometimes we get the feeling that nature is turning against us here.
Anyway, thanks for the well wishes and hope 2022 is kind to you.
To everyone else, too, hope you have a really nice year this year.
