Didn't realize that I had so many spelling mistakes.  I don't use a 
spell-check option in posts, type on the fly.  Thank you for pointing that

out.

Was thinking the same thing too, predators.

Settling in for a long, hot summer.  Have to keep the newly planted 
ligustrums watered according to one weblink I read.  Same link said first 
year is critical for ligustrum transplants.  The "deer resistant"
ligustrum 
seems to be subject to the deer's liberal browsing as well.  The vicinity 
side is about 20 feet from trees and cover, the other side is on the other

side of the driveway which is clearcut and nearer to their old 
grazing/roaming path before I moved here.  Learned something, makes me
look 
forward to tomorrow.  Enjoy your day.

Jang, its all good.
