For thoseof you interested in NH or adjaent states, Monday's Concord Mnitor
will have a picture of me  as an "innovative gardener" pruning my "Ivan's
Belle" (mountainash - hawthorne cross) and a few paragraphs of my gardening
philosophy and a poem on  "Pruning Trees and Keeping  Deer Away". ( Yes, I
wrote my second book of poetry this spring  but will not subject any of you
to it altough I write more gardening and fruit poems all the time). I
instructed the reporter to get  the name  NAFEX in as a sourse of my
inspiration and knowledge but of course don't know if he will.If it is
available on the online Monitor I will post that Monday  meanwhile take the
liberty to subject you to the included poem:::

 ON PRUNING TREES AND KEEPING DEER AWAY

> I am of the "throw a cat through the tree school"

> My rodent controller does not allow me do this

> But she did a great job keeping the voles at bay.

> So I had no gnawing damage this winter," thank you, Alley."

> What are we going to do about deer this year?
>
> More of Dr. O's vile concoction  dribbled  full strength on the stone
walls?

> I guess that will work again.

> But someday I will get a border collie,

> OK, Alley?  he can be your big brother.
