Good to hear that you and the better half are safe Mr. Savage. Yes, the drought is over - weeds are taking over the veggies, heheh.
I agree with your priorities, Moparguy. Around here if we hesitate to grab roadside wood for very long at all, it be gone!

That would be really cool if it was headed to your house.
We have clayey soil but fortunately they left a good layer of topsoil on it all which helps get baby trees started I think. about 2 years after...
papadave's post (walnut saplings) got me to reminiscing on the trees we've planted on our 2 acres. This walnut, with 2 others, was planted from...

Fifteen two, fifteen four, uh waitaminit let me move my chair...
This is a great thread - fascinating to see the things we all do to keep the wheels turning! Myself, a year retired from field service...
