i already have deer. if the clover helps keep them from from eating other things, or even just reduces the carnage, it'll be a win. i can't let it revert to a jungle, city code is enforced well. i wouldn't anyway. i know i'm going to need to mow, i'm hoping it will not be as frequent.
we had an inch of snow yesterday morning. weather has been great for the maple syrup producers. tree sap flows best when temperatures are below freezing at night and above during the day.
