The PA Game commission used to sell bradfords as "wildlife" trees 20 years ago. My dad bought a bunch and planted them around his house and at our camp in Northern PA. The deer always come eat them but the turkeys love them. We have pics of them sitting in the branches eating them before they...

I have one share to keep an eye on it and I missed the boat too!

How late in into spring can you graft pears? I still have some callory's I'd like to graft to something.

Mine are not BH. Seedlings from DCNR I believe. They're 7 or 8 years old now and when I went up over the weekend were just barely starting to break bud.

Oh my one tree had a nest of tent caterpillars so I sprayed them with a bunch of spectracide. They ate that tree down to nothing last year. I'm surprised it made it. Caught them just coming out of the nest this year.

Ran up over the weekend to do a little work. The tree that fell on my one ladder stand finally broke up enough I could safely cut it down. There are no other good trees to put a stand in. It came down rather easily with a pole saw. Planted the beautyberry bushes I bought off of marketplace...

To do that you just sell what you have at a loss? Most of what I have that is losing, I feel has a chance to improve. I thought about selling off a few things at a loss to balance out future earnings.

No I still own them. They're just all down. Just painful to pay taxes on profit you no longer have. Hopefully it's only short term though.

Currently figuring out how much I owe in taxes for all the money I made in the stock market last year. Which I've subsequently lost all of this year. 😭

Picked up 3 full grown beautyberry shrubs off of marketplace yesterday. Just had to dig them out of the lady's yard for $5 each. She said they were selling the same size or smaller at Lowe's for $40 each. I'll have to find a place to plant them now too.

Fortunately don't have to worry about that anymore. If I'd have won a million dollars with my exwife, we'd own a million dollars worth of garbage and have nothing to show for it

1.6 before. Figure ending up with about 60% of that.

I don't bother with Megamillions or Powerball. But if the Cash5 or Match6 gets over a million I'll buy a ticket. 1.6 is what I feel is the magic number for me though. Wouldn't be able to retire but I could at least quit doing what I'm doing.

LOL I read that as retire in 58.8 more years. Ya that's the path I'm on at the moment. Haha

I'm going to keep mine for the turkeys I think. Looks like they'll be a good size for them.
