Hey Kerr. Your ecosystem is near identical to mine. Go looking around on the ground and see if you have
Purslane. It's an edible
succulent and...a super food.

Make sure you're looking at Purslane and NOT Kinnikinnick. You can use Kinnikinnick (the bear berries!!) edibly as well. Purslane will be mostly in wet areas like where mushrooms grow. Kinnikinnick right under the shade of pines like a ground cover. Because it's a natural ground cover.

How come no one wants to see
my pics, huh? Hey, I got a bunch of chewed up stuff over here now. Like I'd even show any of you guys. Pfffft!

Pleeeeeeeease show some pictures of your mountain paradise! I wanna see what you plant or what is growing in your neck of the woods.
That's so nice of you. I really require a certain amount of begging from time to time. I don't know why anyone doesn't know that by now.
My mountain paradise is crap. Deer chewed up the deer resistant perreniels and it's been hailing here.
I can maybe do pics my earth boxes and seedlings on the deck. Got 3 more earth boxes to plant on the side of the house.
It's never getting done.
I like what you guys did with your tropical patio over there. Did you actually have to unload all those stones and gravel? That's back breaking work but it looks so smart and tidy. I can imagine sitting there at sunset. Very serene!
