     are you trying to attract deer?  you will still end up   
   mowing it once in a while to control certain weeds and   
   you probably don't want it reverting to forest.

     we've had several rounds of snow (more due this week, not   
   sure yet if it will be much or what), plus windstorm that   
   took the power out for a day and a half.   
      
     i have been able to get outside and start doing some minor   
   things when the weather permits - still a ways to go before   
   any planting.  gardens look ok.  i had them in pretty good   
   shape last fall right before the snows started up.
