WOW! pennefeather and Indygardengal! Such lovely gardens! We have so many hungry deer, that my gardens have never looked that full. This year I am starting a lot from seed, and I hope that it all won't be deer food. Yes, I use repellant, and use deer resistant plants, but when they are hungry enough, they will even eat a poisonous plant such as monkshood. One year, I saw that mine was eaten, and then I saw a dead deer on the road...I do not know if it was the same one...

Well, time will tell...and I lot of hard work after these late snowfalls. I do not recall having snow so late in the season since I have moved up here 23 years ago. I am the eternal optimist..I guess you have to be, if you are a gardener, as there are so many challenges for us.

This picture was from April 20th!

Happy gardening, all!
