Radish works

Well sorta. Go to land my brother owns yesterday to check cams and the radish we mixed in the bottom plots is mowed off. There are 800 pics on 2 cams and thinking there must be a ton of deer. Instead it's one little doe fawn (who's mom must have been killed) spending all day and night, every day going plot to plot eating them. We even saw her twice while walking. She lives in a little 3 acre area that has food, water, and a salt/mineral lick. May have to call her Annie as in Little Orphan Annie. Maybe this is how you get deer to eat brassica. She'll teach her future fawns and they'll teach theirs starting a cycle. Hope she stays put, so we can protect her from the backporch hunters.

Thats cool looks like she found a nice place to live care to share any pics of her?

bust her before your neighbor does at right be fore dark

It's gun season now and Annie has stayed put. She now has a button buck staying with her. Don't know if it's her brother reunited or another orphan. Sis-in-law got to watch them for 30 mins eating in the plot Sat while hunting.

The deer won't even look at my groundhog radishes yet.But they sure like the green beans in my garden that I left dry for seed.Good thing I took in what I needed.

We have the regular Daikon radish planted. I don't believe they will eat the vegetable itself. They are eating some of my Rape and Turnip tops this year. Only took 9 years for them to start eating brassica. Have some big radish in my garden that I threw in with the crimson clover for a cover crop. I tried some radish and it burned my tongue.
