Norma Singleterry TxZn9 commented on Holly - Michigan, z5's blog post Repell Deer"Liquid fence...that is what i used. Oh my gosh I couldn't even stand spraying that stuff and it didn't work for me. Well I'll try a variety of things. Thanks."
Barbara McKenna commented on Holly - Michigan, z5's blog post Repell Deer"I agree with the Milorganite. Find that it works for much of the summer. However, late in the summer, when there is less that the deer like growing wildly, they will start to ignore the Milorganite. This year I have decided to move to Liquid Fence…"

A Gardener's Journal - a recording system for all gardeners
A Gardener's Journal by Journal Pros publications is the only gardening journal you will ever need. This garden journal is available in several formats: a 3 ring binder notebook, unbound version of the complete set of 20 forms and 166 pages, individual pages, and by seasonal gardening categories.
A Gardener's Journal is the result of two author's efforts... Jodi Benedict, a graphic designer and web designer, and Holly Eads, owner of Holly's Photos and Hints, who is also a gardener with a prolific green thumb. Together, they have produced this record-keeping system that should provide a practical means of maintaining year-to-year gardening records - all in one neat & tidy location.
