Here is proof! Pennsylvania deer do eat pumpkin! I know they eat chrysanthemums...see below..and now they are EATING MY PUMPKINS! I have sprayed them (the mums and pumpkins) with a disgusting mixture of rotten egg, garlic and capsaicin (chili peppers). Wal-Mart actually sells this concoction...a pricey $14.00 for a spray bottle....to keep "pests" away from shrubbery, etc. IT WORKS! I bought new mums and a couple more pumpkins and NO DEER! I am thrilled! Dozier isn't sure about the smell....it makes him sneeze!
The fall colors are really beautiful up here and will probably peak in a week or so. It's cold..50 degrees today...feels colder. Come on up to the beautiful northeast for some....."leaf peepin". We're going next weekend.
