This is chard...
Or should I say what is left over when deer come for dinner. Ugh.
I went out to weed a few rows of chard and this is all I found. Evidence there were plants, but the deer got to them first. They also took out the butter head lettuce I was trying this year.
The next time you admire some deer in the countryside, and I find them beautiful myself, remember they aren't the most considerate of dinner guests. In fact, since there aren't enough predators to control their numbers on farm land, they are just pests. Sorry, Bambi. You are not welcome here.
That would annoy me too. We don't have any deer pressure, but we currently have grasshoppers munching on our Swiss chard and a raccoon or something tried to get at our chickens and turkeys over the weekend. Thankfully they all survived whatever "it" was.
