Why they call it the Garden state

Dave you have a good situation there. Rather than covering each plant in case of frost you could cover the whole garden with a tarp draped over that fence.

An easier way to dodge the frost is to set up the sprinkler. Usually the frost will hit really early in the morning so if you set the alarm and get up about 2 hours before sunrise and turn the sprinkler on, it will keep the frost away. This is what we do many times with fruit trees too and it works.

 

Maybe that too!

 

Worked on a customer's stove today from sewell,nj. Nice fella!

 

Did he have a home up there Brian? Summer place, second home or relocate.

 

Summer place, permanent move soon.

 

They do sell programmable water timers too....

 

Sewell, NJ is about an hour and 15 mins from me North, It's close to phila. Can't blame him from moving, taxes are INSANE there. But then again they are here too.

 

No escaping taxes for sure but some are more excessive than others. They keep raising every year too so imagine what it will be like in another 25 years!

I remember when Judy and I got married and our first tax bill was around $35. We had a nice 2 story home and 2 car garage on 2 acres on a paved road. Then one year we complained because several miles from us they cleaned out a section of the creek that cut through a corner of our property and out taxes doubled that year. A shock to us at the time.

Now I know a couple that has a home very similar to what we had and maybe an acre more. They pay a couple thousand in land taxes and last year they got hit with a $5,000 bill for drainage when they cleaned a creek that starts right by their place. Times and taxes change.

 

Yup, Try this... I'm on a little more than a 1/4 acre and a very humble 2000 sqft home, I get "Nothing" but trash pick up and my property taxes are $4300.00 a year, soon to go up as soon as the new Nazi Governor signs in the new tax code.

 

Stripers are moving!!!

 

Glad you spellt that currectly....

 

Yes.
