The Great Outdoors Gardening and wildlife RALPH TRUE

Wildlife in many areas of Massachusetts are thriving, as this week’s picture shows a doe with her three young deer. Numerous gardeners are also feeling the negative part of high deer populations. Gardeners have told me about losing a lot of their crops to deer this year. Woodchucks are also to blame for lost crops to the first-time gardeners, as well as longtime garden- ers. One local gardener told me about a fellow gardener that planted seed for his corn crop. It did not take the crows long to find the recently planted seeds and pretty much cleaned out his corn patch. This year, with all of the Covid-19 problems, many people are working from home, or are not working at one with many bass fishing anglers, but all.
