The Salt Blog at NPR:
Though we hear about them every holiday season in that famous song, chestnuts – whether roasting on an open fire or otherwise – have been noticeably absent from many American tables for decades, thanks to a deadly fungus that decimated the species near half a century ago. But a small army of determined growers have been on a seemingly quixotic quest to put chestnuts back on the American table, and they’re just starting to see results.

We have a problem with deer eating everything we try to grow! What plants can we use in our landscape to deter deer?
jhofley says
Planting a landscape that is “deer-proof” is a tall order as they like to eat a lot of plants varieties. There are some herbs and ornamentals with fragrances that deer do not like. Maybe check with your local garden center to see what varieties work best in your area. You might also consider an organic repellent like Plantskydd which can be very effective in repelling deer for extended periods. Cheers!
