It does not get enough light, so it did not get very thick, but did germinate pretty good. I checked on it today and the deer have not only over browsed it, but literally dig the ground up to get it all. It looks like somebody drug a drag through the plot.

I've watched deer pull it up and have clover hanging out both sides of it's mouth. I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time. NRA Life Member
