I just wish I had a good answer to that question or one that might impress.

Around COVID time we had a #raisedbed constructed. The trouble is the #Muntjac. The #deer eat everything, so that's been unused since that first #season. (You can also blame wife's health as a contributory factor.) It's also used in a few window boxes, but that's about it as far as convention goes.

Dare I confess that a lot is mixed with the chippings we generate from storm damaged trees and those that have died and is spread on the paths. The soil is basically peat and as it dries footsteps grind it away exposing tree roots that become a trip hazard. The original idea was that it might help create smooth grass paths, but in such wooded conditions there's little sun and ground that's much above the water table dries out too much for grass.

My wife has suggested giving it away or selling it, but I'm very reluctant to let anything go off site. The ground's low enough as it is.

This morning was our second hike of 2025 on the Wiley Trails, the first it didn't rain on us!

My offspring got an iPhone for Christmas, so instead of them having to always wait for me when I stop to take pictures, now we both make the other stop when we find something cool to shoot. Below they're taking some pictures of a friendly white-tailed deer (𝘖𝘥𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘶𝘴 𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘴) who was kind enough to stop and model for us:
