The deer decided to make their 2024 appearance in the garden last night and proceeded to munch away at several of my perennials. I always blame deer for the carnage, but it could have been rabbits. My plumbago and geraniums in the waterfall garden have been gnawed to the stems, but the good news is both plants are summer bloomers and have plenty of time to grow back.
