Market Farming

Robert,

It's the pepper buds the deer like.  Usually, this time of the season 
they stop bothering the peppers, though I've had some in eating on 
the leaves recently.  But that's only because of the really desperate 
drought in this neck of the woods (until last weekend).  The deer are 
going to have a really hard winter around here because of lack of 
feed.  I expect to lose a lot of greens come October.    And it's 
hard to shoot all  the deer that come in at 3 in the morning.  I got 
two last week, but I'm sure there were a dozen others out there 
eating.
