I don't know why we try to have a garden here. The deer eat everything here, even the plants that have a symbol of a deer with a line through it, signifying that deer won't eat it. I love the deer ~ they are beautiful and graceful and add to life here. I even feed them. So, the common courtesy here would be for the deer to graciously eat what I provide for them and be so thankful that they would leave my plants alone.
But some people here have completely given up and, gasp, 'planted' silk flowers. Seriously, they think we can't tell the difference? Usually the fact that it's poinsettias in the summer is a dead giveaway...ditto for pansies in the winter and mums in the spring.
I actually see the little old lady up the road 'tending' her artificial flowers. This 'tending' involves bending their stems and blooms after a big storm. It also involves rearranging the garden i.e., pulling up a bunch of lovely blooms and moving them to the other side of the garden. Poof - new garden, just like that.
