Thanks for posting the Eastern Oak Tree link , Native , thats a great site ! Trying to identify all of the different types of oaks always give me trouble .

That must be one tough old coyote !

Sobering read ! I do agree with a lot of it . Once in a while , I will cut on one of the outdoor,hunting channels . Most of it has become unwatchable to me .

Thats a really nice deer, Native ! I assure you that he wouldnt get a pass on my place - lol

Thanks KSQ2 I got so carried away about the rain coming that I just planted anyway . It had been around 2 weeks sice I sprayed . Im hoping that I get some germination . I should know in a few more days how it worked out .

I sprayed cleth and waited 2 weeks ,then planted wheat and rye due to rain in the forecast ..Its only been a couple of days since I planted so nothing sprouting yet . Im hoping that the cleth doesnt keep them from coming in . Brianvt - just wondering if you had success after spraying with cleth .

I was looking to get a couple of those Mulberry trees. Im in Virginia , but a tree nursery that I trust near me said that zones 7 and 8 are experiencing " popcorn disease " and they recommend not planting them . Im not sure if you are in that planting zone but just FYI .

Thanks Native and g squared I have been very happy with my Blue Hill trees . Ryan always gets back with me with any questions concerns etc . I appreciate all of the advice and comments .- Good stuff ! I am really hoping that that these trees can fend this off but after giving them some time...

I have 4 large Kieffer Pear trees that are totally eaten up with fireblight . They are between 10 and 15 years old and 25 feet tall .Ive always had a few blight strikes on them from year to year and do my best to cut it out . However , last year it was pretty bad . I used a ladder and tried to...

Glad to hear that news Native . I had some damage on my pears, but I would say that more than half of the blooms survived , I am still holding my breath until we get thru early May.

Im in Central Virginia. Most of my pears are close to full bloom ( some more-some less ). Its 6 am and we are at 27 degrees. Will probably drop a little more before the sun comes up . I got cleaned out last year and its not looking good again with temps going even colder tonight . Hopefully...

I have a couple of used office swivel chairs that I found on Craigsist . they work well for me .

I have been slow to join the throw and mow party , but decided to give it ( partly ) a try this year . I used a chain harrow instead of of a rototiller. I was broadcasting clover , wheat and rye . I always try to broadcast before a good rain and did overseed quite a bit this year . I had quite...
