btpatriot02: I know deer feed on grapes and raspberries but I think the bird' s get most of the wild (black) cherries before they make it down to the ground.

Swampthing; the neighbours say that there' s about 3-4 feet on the ground but I won' t be up there until next week. It doesn' t look good, this late in the winter, with that much snow and the temperatures that we' re getting. We can only hope for a quick thaw.

Timberpig; you' re jumping in with more than both feet. You may want to add a few Sawtooth oaks for a quicker crop. I' d also seriously look at a few dozen Persimmons. They' re bomb proof when it comes to insects and disease.

timbercruiser; I know you' re jealous that we can do snow angels for the next month or so but not everyone can have our weather. I' d like to get my hands on a groundhog that last showed his face on Feb 2. I think he needs a retirement party.
