On May 9, 2009 our gardens were featured on the Matthews Historical Foundation Home and Garden Tour. It was a beautiful day and many visitors enjoyed our labor of love. See more pictures at http://www.matthewshistoricalfoundation.org

We love working in the garden, but the deer can be a problem. The deer are fun to see wandering through the yard, BUT it is a challenge to keep them from eating our favorite shrubs & flowers. Will's brother Bob gave us this recipe to spray on the plants. So far it has been very effective.
"Bob's Keep The Deer Away" Recipe 1/3 cup dish soap 3 eggs 1/2 cup water A small bottle of Tabasco Sauce 3 beef bouillon cubes
Mix all ingredients in a blender. Pour into a gallon jug and fill with water. Fill spray bottle (it will clog a pressure sprayer) and spray any plant you don't want the deer to eat. Repeat after rain.
