Winter Flurries Bookmark

Random Quick Tip!

Deer Repellant
When planting a garden, hang some nylon peds stockings near the plants with pieces of deodorant soap in them. This will help deter the deer and other animals from getting into the garden. They don't like the smell. You can also use small muslin drawstring bags available online. Just tie them on stakes near your plants.
