Explain the tag numbers, are there 1550 tags?

I can vouch for deer LOVING pigweed!

You’ve got me hooked with this particular journal. Anxiously awaiting another update.

I can’t say I’m exactly pleased, the stuff wreaks havoc on my allergies every fall…

Tackled another project this afternoon at the Massey. Tree caging! I put small cages around some of the burr oak acorns from the high school that finally sprouted. I’d given up on all of them and some surprised me late. These are impressive trees at the high school, so I’m hoping these will be...

That’s was about the time the drought began, I never did much experimenting, and my nephew stopped working at the coffee shop. So, not much to report.

Thanks Native, the water sprouts are inside the cage, so the deer cannot get to them. Also, what do you think of the possible leaf curl, am I being paranoid?

Set some cameras on my day off today. It was nice to have some actively growing plots to set them on! I was told by a buddy who hunts in western Kansas and has set cams on water holes for years, that even in a good year, the deer will typically hit a water tub, especially one in the shade...

What do I need to do with these water shoots. This is the only one of 4 trees from North American Crabapple that does this. The pic doesn’t show it well, but there are probably 7 or 8 water shoots coming up around the tree. It has done this every year. Can I cut them now without hurting the...

When the trees in our north waterway finally get big enough to handle fire, I might give this a shot. It might be a while though, I think I’m addicted to planting trees. lol It would have to be the right year though, I’d want it to have at least a little regrowth before the first frost.

Yeah, fall fire does do a number on it, but who wants to torch all of the cover then???

Looks like you have to battle the dreaded sericea lespedeza too.

That's what I was hoping; the bark even looks pear-like, thanks!!

Did you see my fail in the other thread??? Grrrr...

I'm confident there would be moisture within 16" right now. It can wait a while anyway, I was told by the neighbor that we got 1" last night! Good grief, it has been an incredible year so far!!
