Well. So much for that.
Sep. 27th, 2010 10:00 amOur next door neighbors had to put their dog down last week. He was old and had lead a good life. He'd been suffering with cancer most of the summer and they'd taken him to be treated but he wasn't recovering and his health was getting worse so they did what was best for him. Poor guy.
And poor us, it turns out. Since we'd put up the fences, the deer hadn't bothered our garden though they'd been through the yard many times. It would appear though, this was in part due to London's vigil. Friday night, the deer tore down the fences on every terrace level of the garden and absolutely decimated it. They ate nearly everything to the ground. Tomato plans, beans, peas, cucumbers, squash, all the greens. Garden is ruined.
Next year I'm only planting things with huge thorns and vicious posions. Monkshood, castor beans, euphorbias, and maybe some kind of plant that sprouts rattlesnakes and sharks just for good measure. It's been hard enough growing a garden this year because of the lack of sun. We finally get to where we can harvest something and... I got TWO WHOLE TOMATOES before it was destroyed. :(
Or maybe I should see if my nutter parents will mail me my bow. There's no law specifically barring bow hunting in a residential area. Just 'firearms'. And since they're full of MY vegetables, it's not exactly like I'd be not being a vegetarian. Right? We're eating loophole tonight kids!

You're still fucking fired, 2010.
