baked sweet potato, corn and a ribeye off the grill. That was our dinner tonight. Now I need to go find some more mushrooms for breakfast.

Or I should say we had hostas. They come up in the spring but the deer love them.

soap near them and that seems to keep them away.

I would run the Irish Spring through a cheese grater and sprinkle on the leaves. Inevitably, it will rain and it'll wash off and the deer come back.

I've had good luck with chili powder on my tiger lilies (deer like the buds just before they open up) so I bought a huge container of chili powder to try on the hostas this year. My back yard will have a new scent this year!

By the way... Enjoy the 'shrooms!
