Deer friendly flower bed
The biggest reason I
rushed to harvest
my carrots is because I had that spot earmarked to turn into a
flower bed. Two bags of crocuses have been waiting for months to go
into the ground there. So as soon as the carrots came out, the crocuses
went in.
Huckleberry "helped"
with the project, which means he sat on the carrot tops and made it
difficult to use them as mulch over my crocus bulbs. I eventually got
the job done anyway.
Well, except for
deciding what else to plant in my new flower bed for summer and fall
color. Ideas for useful or at least low-work perennials to plant in a
very deer-trafficked spot?

Nice to finally meet you today. This might have been the last post that I read. Well this one or the one with the wood chips....time flies.
You and Mark will have to come to our place for dinner after the thaw!
