Daylight Savings Time is here….Spring is almost here…..Is the snow ever going to melt?


Here we are at Daylight Savings Time, the beginning of the garden year with longer days and warmer nights…we hope. It’s almost St. Patrick’s day, it’s almost Spring and it’s almost Easter and the snow is still on the ground…. scattered in big patches. I do not remember a longer winter then this one …..It just lingers…. and lingers…. Well there is a tiny light of hope, a few days ago I saw my first Robins. They are such a welcoming sight because when I see Robins I know that spring is not far behind.

We have not seen the deer around the house for a few weeks now and I miss my little Teddy Bear Prince. He was the one giving me plenty of trouble this whole winter. We had a mutual respect for each other, he wanted my evergreens and I kept him away with Deer Defeat Repellent an all natural deer and rabbit repellent. He did not like the idea of seeing green and not being able to eat it, so he came back to visit our yews and made an attempt every single evening. Even now I don’t think he is totally gone, I suspect he will be back as soon as my perennials start to emerge. I am ready and waiting armed with Deer Defeat Repellent which truly “Can’t be beat” when it comes to stubborn deer like him.

Just a reminder, please don’t forget as the snow melts and exposes the evergreens previously protected with the snow to spray those with Deer Defeat all natural deer and rabbit repellent as soon as you can. Deer are extremely hungry this year because of the long winter and they will eat anything that is green and available if it’s not sprayed.     

Just last week I was visiting the beautiful state of Georgia and saw various blooming trees, gardenias and daffodils in full bloom. Pansies are the flowers that bloom in state of Georgia all year around, just gorgeous colorful pansies everywhere. It was so enjoyable breathing that fresh spring air and absorbing as much sun as I could to carry me over thru the last days of our upstate New York winter days.

 While there, I was reading Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper and found the garden column written by Walter Reeves where he mentioned Deer Defeat Repellent to be used as one of the effective deer prevention repellents.   Mr. Reeves is a popular radio and television personality in southern states. You can read all about him and his accomplishments and appearances on his web site www.walterreeves.com.  Mr. Walter Reeves teaches gardening classes, has successful radio and television show and writes gardening books specifically for the South.

Q. I am afraid I’ve created a monster by having a salt lick in my backyard. The deer love it. I recently counted eight there taking turns. I had hoped to put out impatiens to get some color. Do deer like impatiens? — Rose Sanders, Marietta

A. If I installed a swimming pool in my front yard without a fence, I’d be accused of creating an attractive nuisance. By putting a salt lick in your backyard, you did the same thing for deer. They will be a nuisance to you and your neighbors as long as the salt is there. Taking into account that deer are fickle, impatiens are a plant usually consumed by them. You can try repellents like Liquid Fence, Deer Defeat, PlantSkyyd or Milorganite to see if you can keep them at bay.

We are pleased Deer Defeat all natural deer and rabbit repellent received the recognition it deserves from such a popular garden personality as Mr. Walter Reeves. It is an honor for Deer Defeat Repellent to be listed by Mr. Reeves in his newspaper column as one of the effective deer and rabbit repellents. Deer Defeat is currently selling in beautiful Senoia GA.
