Yes.

Fawns can be such trouble! Their curiosity can wreak havoc as they get into unexpected and unprotected plants.

But they sure are cute! Hard to get too mad a them.

But the plants will recover and go on to bloom this summer, no worries.

Thanks mxk3 and karin! I totally agree, seeing the little one frolic in my yard always puts a smile on my face.

I was out back earlier this week and he/she was running laps across my and my neighbors back yard -- did the circuit around 7 times while I stood there watching not 20 feet away. Getting used to his legs, I reckon.

Of course, momma was in the next yard over supervising the entire operation. Such a sight to see!

Glad to know my coneflower will be none the worse for wear. It's my first time growing them (I'm a newbie gardener) so I didn't quite know what to expect!

He/she also sampled one of heuchies and a herbaceous potentilla, but only a few nibbles. Hard to be mad!

Try sprinkling Milorganite around your plants. Its a great fertilizer and the deer here don't like one bit. I have a huge bed of hostas and after using Milorganite, they haven't touched it. Cute? Well only on TV :)
