I also have my apples, cherries, honeyberries, black currant, red currant, gooseberries, rhubarb, plums, raspberries, blackberries, garlic, and chives that are in the ground all winter. I used to have Jerusalem artichoke, but they got smoked this winter, so I have to replace them. My sage...

I don't think so. I think everyone just spent 75 years vastly overestimating the Russian military. I'm not saying the Europeans are something special, I'm saying the Russian military turned out to be garbage. I would not trust any military self report I found online. There is absolutely no...

I have radish and lettuce direct sown in my raised beds. I've sown in pots that are inside germinating. So far I have about a dozen pots each of: Moneymaker tomato Cherry tomato Zucchini Celery Cayenne chili Bell pepper Physalis Palm kale Sweet peas Spinach The radishes and lettuce are...

Same. I can graft, so I can afford to be picky about what I buy. I'm done with Stark entirely.

Militaries are notorious for lying in evaluations in order to keep or grow their budget. The French special forces are ruthless killers. If France joined the Ukraine war, it would probably be over in 6 months with a complete expulsion of Russians from Ukrainian territory. Plus, they have a...

Better than a kick in the crotch, but that gain is after a drop of 50% for corn and 30% in beans over the last 2 years. We're back at 2014 prices.

I'm on a carnivore diet, so everything I eat is protein and fat. I have a freezer full of moose and red deer meat, which I'm devouring, but it is 100% lean. Fish, port, and chicken aren't much better in terms of fat. Even with cream and butter in the sauces I make, I get a craving for the...

Not far off. It takes about 2 years to raise a beef steer. I just see corn and soybean prices in the dirt and beef prices at all-time highs, and I wonder why there's not an effort to produce more beef. I assume it's because US retailers can make more money importing it. But then how are...

I believe it. I couldn't make heads of tails of the source of the problem. I just see US beef prices and imports at all-time highs, and exports are falling. It's a worrying trend that seems to be part of a looming crisis in US agriculture, and I don't see much being done about it.

I hope that's what it is. I thought it was an eye infection when I first looked at it.

I thought the same thing, but my parents tell me beef prices are through the roof due to shortages. I was wondering why beef farmers don't crank out some calves and bulk them up with cheap soybeans and then fatten them with corn and get more beef out on the domestic market. Trump could get...

That was Putin.

Yeah, I almost bought a roll of barbed wire on Marketplace. Nothing is producing fruit yet, but when it starts, I will have to do something to keep them away. Ontario took away my ability to hunt bears, but I have some friends there who are bear hunters, so I might recruit a couple of them...

I already got an email correcting the date of my latest order from today to the date my original order should be shipped. They haven't changed the new order from pickup to my delivery address, but it seems like they known what they are doing, so I'll wait a week or so before I follow up...

Be careful forming an opinion on a diverse nation based on the actions of their leader, likewise treating Turkey as a united homogeneous unit. The Turkish "ethnicity" is a relatively new concept, and they are not very good at politics or understanding their place in the world. They are...

I ordered two persimmon trees and left a note to add them to my other order. If I don't get an email from them in the next few hours I'll call them.

Thanks, guys. I'll try to sort it out today.

Good to know. I will boycott Wallgreens. I can't stand companies that choose to enable crime while raising prices on the rest of us to pay for it.

Is it possible to add a tree to an order? It won't even let me check out with one tree.

I would wait until I received them and then check the roots immediately. If they're dry, contact the nursery. If they are packaged properly, then no harm done.
