I am surprised discover myself very recently retired and look forward to enjoying every single moment! I live on top of a mountain in NE WA. This Spring, I am planting trees: 3 peach, 2 cherry, 1 4-way pear and a nectarine. I have 45 seedlings ready to go outide (if it ever stops snowing!). I have been watching voles vigorously tunneling in search of tulips and iris - so there's that...
My friends have donated raspberry and blackberry starts and I have been calculating where they should live. Deer, bear and sometimes cougar are considerations when planting on the mountain.
