Hanging baskets!

I was about to say "How GORGEOUS", until I read the rest of your post...Oh deer (sorry, couldn't quite resist it!); that must be so soul destroying. Oher than showing him "Bambi", I have no idea what you can do - hopefully somebody out there can, painlessly I hope.

These are absolutely magnificent photos but I can empathise with the anger at the ruining (but not to such an extreme level- my damage isn't as extreme as yours has been)- the wretched badger and fox KEEP completely digging up my rhubarb and the spinach and kale in the raised bed- I keep putting them back in and putting out canes and pots to make it difficult for them but STILL, I go out there furious to find things dug up and unearthed.

Well he's certainly licking his lips at the juicy morsels to be found in your garden. There will be more around now that there has been a lull in shooting due to the pandemic. I think they're beautiful but like most things the numbers need to be controlled. I have often been enraged by the amount they have eaten in the garden, especially when there is plenty for them to eat outside of residential properties in this area. So, in short, I feel your pain.
Lovely set of photos though :)
