Again

I think the deer may have been back. I only have two zucchini plants out in the open now and I just noticed that it looked like one of them had been munched on. It hasn't been looking that great for awhile, but I'm pretty sure this was fresh munching. The pieces of leaves still left were green. On the plus side that means the netting over the butternut squash and the screen around the rest of the zucchini served their protective purpose. On the downside, if I leave the butternuts uncovered when we're on vacation I might lose the whole thing. Or if I leave them covered the bees can't access for pollination purposes. I'm already a little concerned I may have been abandoned by the bees. They can still access the zucchini but it doesn't look like they have recently when I've checked in the mornings.
