A Second Look--July 11, 2012

This week there were a couple of new things blooming including tiger lilies and black-eyed susan. It seems that our black-eyed susan are never very robust, but we enjoy them all the same. Also, you may remember last week when I showed the bar soap that was supposed to deter deer that wasn't working. This week, I found a piece of it far from any flower bed and it had been partially eaten. I don't know what took the bites, but I'm guessing a fox or raccoon.

Here's what I saw this week during a Second Look.

Queen anne's lace. Notice the "deer repellant" soap below it.



This piece of soap had been drug far from the flower bed and chomped on. I'm not sure by what.
