Back from the mountains, the deer are safe for another year, last year we saw 3-4 deer in a week, but this year we saw a lot of deer, 60 or more, unfortunately the only one with a hood ornament was standing ten yards off the highway! Many of the does had 2 fawns, and one had three, which bodes well for next year. The kid (my buddies grandson) I had with me almost got a bear, he saw it go into the brush and had the crosshairs on it, but couldnāt see the front of the bear in the brush, so he didnāt shoot. I was quite proud of him for that! The plants are in deep senescence, but with a 15 year old with me I couldnāt harvest. Iāll either harvest in about three weeks when I close the place up for the winter (weather permitting) or have a neighbor pull them. The weather was pretty mild lows in the 40ās, highs in the upper 70ās. But this morning it was 27 degrees. Hereās some shots:
A couple of the smaller plants have a very purple pheno:
