You ^ are awesome. You are blessed that God gave you the gift of legs to walk and you don't take it for granted. Don't ever give up! Although I could purchase several ATV’s I will never own one and I walk in every time. On some days my walk-in is 1.5 hours, my pack is heavy, I climb STEEP...

Yes! I was ontop of things this year and logged into STL on 12/1 to order AWH, WWC....but not any were available...?? As others have mentioned, Conner emailed me saying several varieties were too small due to the drought. But he recommended a couple others that were late droppers. He...

if you all know anyone in Central or Northern Pennsylvania looking I just listed my EX3200 for sale. Its been outstanding with ZERO issues. 280.4 hours total. Here: https://pennstate.craigslist.org/grd/d/port-matilda-2012-cubcadet-yanmar-ex3200/7094571298.html Its been outstanding but I...

Thanks H20. I did see CSF has some older seedlings available but they are higher in price and I suspect shipping would be too. In the past I have been able to purchase from various state nurseries at $25 for 30 seedlings and even $12 for 25 seedlings.

Thx Bill. I do have a few and starting from existing cuttings is an option. Every cutting that grew would be a clone of its parent which would be unpreferrrable but it is a fun option.

I did not get around to ordering my seedlings until early February this year. Because of my delay I missed the window for Elderberry. MDC is sold out, NY & WVA have zero to offer, VA is sold out, PA has zero to offer (in fact PA has fallen off the grid this year with only 4 seedling choices...

Hey, going to resurrect an old thread! This summer I am prepping for my 4th section of NWSG that will be seeded this fall. Over the last 5 years or so I prepared 3 other smaller sections with my backpack sprayer :emoji_weary:. I do like the exercise but this 4th section is just too big. I...

Yepper! Another great position!

I have been performing habitat improvements for 20+ years but similar to the OP I came across some information and pursued it . I called my local NRCS and started talking about what was available that may mesh with my goals. I had shared that I would like to create another NWSG/pollinator...

TY Skinner! You probably should start a new thread in order to not distract from OP. If not, then there you have it.... the most up to date excellent information. Excellent information. Eric says he believe they publish a summary of the NY meetings too. So we may be able to read about the...

Very much agreed,...even with the best data and best science they will not change. They have closed their mind in this area and their opinion is based on their feelings. But I bet they use google everyday and let google sell their usage data because they don't even understand that either. I...

Hey. I think you live close. I am in northern Potter Co, PA near Coudersport. Going to the meeting next Saturday? . Good stuff. I think you mean it needs specific genes from 8-11 of the chromosomes for resistance.

I agree with all your points!...and I am seeing/hearing the same things from people working directly on approval. However, their reaction was predictable....the closer your are to success the more people who try to bring you back down. I was sent this article: GMO chestnut. I thought it was a...

yepper. Also, FWIW, my land is North Central PA in a 5a (and some years it feels like a 4b since I have seen -24 and about 2 years in 5 we have frosts in early June). I tried some dunstans from chestnut hill back in maybe 2014..?? They do not, NOT do well in cold climates with late frosts. I...

Good stuff BKY. The NY group is SUNY-ESF. They were successful with their wheat gene insertion and blight resistant american chestnut. They have backcrossed their Darling 58 (a line of transgenic american) with a pure wild american. That offspring has successfully produced nuts with about...

according to germplasm agreements that people have to sign, they can not sell any of the 15/16th nuts. (let me know if you want the link). And, even though some state tree farms have started growing 15/16th seedlings, I have been told they can not sell it yet either because the trees still fall...

Its a little challenging only seeing the underside but I believe post #1 is a polyphemus moth. Its is a widspread giant silkworm moth. That one is a male and looks freshly out of its cocoon. Lives for less than a week as an adult moth. Good find. Post #2 is a cercropia moth. Another giant...

Here in the ice box of Potter County PA we dropped to 32.0 about 4:50am and then 31 through 6:40am with a thorough frost. This is at 1650' elevation and I suspect my meadows at 1900' were colder. I almost started planting out my Chestnuts and Chinkapins yesterday,.. but I knew better. This is...

Bill, Going into my 3rd season with IMOX. I have multiple small .25 -.4 acre clover plots so I only utilize a 4gal. backpack sprayer. IMOX has worked well for me and never killed any of my various types of clover. I was instructed use IMOX with Nitro-surf for convenience instead of using a...

Good stuff. You have some type of Lupinus on your property? See if you can key it out. If you have the native Lupinus perennis that is great. Protect it since its very important. Over many years alot of Lupinus polyphyllus seed has been included in CRP/wildflower mixes. Over time it has...
