Only a few turkeys. There's a ton of rye/weed seed still on the ground, so I think they're still there. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Hey all, So I tried something new this year, and did a spray/roll routine after I broadcast my brassicas. While I've done this in the past, I did it around the beginning of July, as last year it took 2 weeks for them to sprout. Long story short, we hit a month long dry spell and I've only had...

I ended up just seeding-spraying-rolling. We'll see how it does! I wasn't so much worried about the volunteer rye coming back up, but those wild oats spread like wildfire.

Hey all, I am currently rotating the LC mix of grains/clover and then brassicas. Where I planted the grains and clover last year I have tons of what I call "wild oats". My normal routine is to broadcast, spray, and then roll. My question is, because I have a significant amount of these "oats"...

The deer browse "problem" is why I thought that perhaps mixing it with EW would work out. If it gets browsed, then ok! You can't blame the deer for eating something you plant. If they don't get browsed that heavily, ALSO great. I'll, potentially, have some thick stalks to support the EW. I...

Hey all! Long time, no post! I've got a "quick" question regarding a screen that I'm planting this year. I've got a half acre food plot, and I disced a 10-15 ft wide, and ~100ft strip down the center of it (so overall 1000-1500 ft^2). I'm planning on trying a mixture of sunhemp and EW. It's my...

I'm always amazed at how pretty/intricate the colors are on turkeys when they're up close (e.g. dead) Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk

One thing I've found with regards to looking at growing heirlooms is contacting local cider places. Although a lot of their commercial stuff is your generic (i.e. newer) varieties, I've found that a lot of these folks have a backyard nursery or a few heirloom varieties that they keep for...

Ok folks, here is what I have. Be forewarned, they've been off the tree in a black plastic bag with damp paper towels for about a week. Normally not a problem, but we've had some major temp fluctuations, so they may be a bit closer to breaking dormancy (but maybe not. who knows.) Lots of (5-10...

I'll be pruning next weekend. I won't know for sure until I get to the property, but as of now the list is: Chestnut crab, Honeycrisp, Yates, Enterprise, liberty, goldrush, and an unknown variety planted by my grandpa. I also have 4 wild trees on the property, one of which seems like the apple...

I've got you on the Liberty. And that American Chestnut I promised!

I'll let you know after I prune as to the diameter, but I should be able to get you some chestnut, violi's, Hangover, and WW.

I may be able to help on Ashmead and Newtown. I have to see how the trees do over the winter (by which I mean remember if they are big enough to start getting anything worth grafting off of).

And good luck with that!

Damn. MORE apples?! I've got an American Chestnut with your name on it if you'd like. IME the thing that takes the longest is the screen/cages and placing/adjusting the plants. I can dig about 1 hole a minute. Dig them deep, then put a bit of compost in, then adjust after. I've planted...
