I plan on spreading some seeds along some of my trails this fall to see if they will take hold in various areas.
Congrats BB! You were spot on this time.

Hostas were exactly what I was talking about.

I swiped the by products from the wifes thinning em out in her flower gardens and put out about 40 clumps of em this summer and the deer positively are mauling them. I used the white/green variety but they seem to love em all.

Perennial, love shade, almost impossible to kill, these things are great!
