Red maple with some complementary poison ivy.
Those are known as pasture pines and not worth much at all. See how a little ways up the trunk they split into multiple trunks? When they were...
This will see some use mowing too, but what I’m looking forward to is hauling wood up to the house with it. My craftsman lawn tractor did the job...
Time for an incremental upgrade. A coworker had this 1976 Cub Cadet mode 1000 garden tractor. Needs new front tires, a carb cleaning and a general...
Yesterday the governor of Connecticut requested a federal agriculture disaster declaration due to the frost a few days ago. It got down to 33 at...
I’m guessing 6-7 for you, unless we get hit with tornadoes/tropical cyclones. Then all bets are off :)
Only a couple more nights dropping into the upper 40s, then we're solidly into summer weather here. The pool is up, only a few more things to...
Definitely black locust. No experience here growing one from cuttings, but I have 3 planted along my property line that I grew from seeds. I see...
I can relate to the internal battle. See wood, think about how you need to take care of the wood you already have at home first, the devil on your...
I think Brad’s got it with Boxelder AKA Manitoba maple, ash leaf maple. Not something I’d go gaga over trying to score mountains of. I’d rate it...
Potatoes, onions, spinach, lettuce, cilantro, and radishes are taking off. [ATTACH] These two patches of lettuce came up on their own this...
Hey Sarge, I don’t know what this stuff is but you lucked out because it’s not Japanese knotweed. I have the same stuff in my beds every year and...
A certain type of person would reason it out in their own head that “it’s only to get it fired up initially, before the carburetor starts doing...
As I took the chicken wire cover off my chestnut bed to pull weeds, I found a rogue mulberry tree that popped up along my fence. I almost pulled...
This year I’m growing Chinese chestnuts in my protected raised bed. I’m figuring on selling them (cheap) in the late winter of 2024 as bare root...
Correct, hickory is a slow grower so it has tight growth rings. Since there are several types of hickory, it can get confusing in that sense too....
My one survivor from last year did fine, but just like this one, I moved it within a couple weeks of it sprouting and got the entire taproot out...
Using the hardware cloth I already had on hand, I took your idea and I transplanted a black walnut seedling that popped up last week. Hopefully...
Cottonwood is the same way and dries ridiculously fast.
I think you could do worse… On the plus side it will most likely be ready to burn this winter.
