Dr Deer still hanging tight as of today lost my last Gate in the last day or two but it was a small cross section on the Gate pears I only had four to start with, and I ate one of them.

Never done it quite like that but deboned the large muscle sections cleaned them of any tendons and fat and then smoked those whole is very good.

I’ve done quite a few bark grafts at chest height.

That is a groovy list

I think my biggest issue was letting the guy bale it before July he was treating it like any other hay field and after making him wait until after the 4th of July it started to thicken and mature into a decent stand of tall grass. I have burned it off before also and may very well this next...

I let a neighbor bail it once a year I make him wait until after the 4th of July and I think it helps the native grasses. I likely lose forbes because of it but I’m ok with that. 15 years since I planted it and only the last few can you look at it and say it really looks like a stand of native...

I have planted in the last two years Adirondac, red jewel and sugar time at the house mostly for some winter color but also to feed critters.

My understanding was quince root stock was the most dwarfing for pears

Long bloom time, heavy fruiting very disease resistant and sour until after a frost or two hits the fruit it sounds like a very good wildlife crab to add to my deer orchards.

This is unlikely to happen
