If the deer don't get it, the weather will. *sigh* I need to go camping to get away from my love of gardening! And I weed the poison ivy at the campsites we stay in. I bought some bargain Jersey Giant at Walmart and put a little water in the bags. As soon as it dries out, I want to plant it in my raised bed. We did that last year with concrete blocks and compost and manure.
