I thought I would comment on your fawns with spots comment since I live pretty close to you. I have had a doe on camera carrying in early August before. If a 201 day gestation period is accurate, that would be a mid-January conception which I have also seen (heavy rutting activity with multiple...

Great! I will bookmark them both as a future reference. Best wishes with planting. I received my small order from Missouri Dept. Conservation yesterday. My back is also sore lol.

Nice! Where are those available? Might try to pick some up next year. My previously planted trees from but are waking up for their second year!

Loved all your updates, J-bird! Congrats on the three deer taken so far on your farm. I am seeing the same thing on my end of the state. My slowest camera year ever. The EHD last year absolutely decimated our herd. I even found more dead deer during shed season in the spring that I had...

Looks beautiful! I just bought a few Sweetango's earlier today at Meijer to try for the first time. They looked beautiful, but I'm sure they won't taste as good as yours!

Looking for English Oak if they become available at some point! Shipping/fee not a problem.

Thank you for the recommendation. I will file that away for future usage as this particular project is a slow one. I have planted norway spruce around 3 acres or so and planted about 20 fruit/nut tree varieties. So it will be a few years before I'm ready to try the "magazine" look. :)

Great perspective. I haven't seen any browse on the oxalis, black-eyed susan, or daisies yet, but I do agree that their heights is providing needed shade for the clover during this dry spell. I will probably hit with some rye this fall!

Thank you to both of these replies! Incredibly informative. This is kind of a long-term project, so I think I'll let the clover ride for now. The wicking bar idea is awesome and I will look into that. Spot spraying, as suggested is also a viable option for the ironweed, as I do not have...

Hey Folks, I'd love some feedback on this as I am new to establishing clover and would love some advice. Here are the details: This is a one acre clover plot I did throw n' mow to last fall with some Ladino and Cereal Rye mixed in. It was a cattle pasture previously so there are...

Great follow-up info!

+1 for Echo. We've been Stihl guys for a long time here at my house, but I've been running a 14" Echo 2511t for medium and light duty and a 20" Echo Timberwolf CS590 for large tree work. Man oh man, they both cut so good, primarily because of the amazing chisel chains, but the compression and...

I feel your pain. Lots of my trees got bit by this late frost. It has me thinking about doing a bit more research into late-blooming varieties of apples and pears...It wouldn't hurt to have some of those as insurance!

How cool is that?! I don't think I've ever heard of anyone getting acorns from a Bur Oak that soon.

Good info, thank you!

Just combing through threads to glean more information about fruit tree plantings and ran across this one. Here in SW Indiana, I find that deer completely leave their feeding patterns in late October, or early November, especially does as they head to more thick cover to escape the young bucks...

You can add me to the growing list of folks who are impressed by NWC. Terry was extremely kind on the phone and the trees arrived as healthy looking as a horse. I was actually very surprised by the root maturity and it was clear that care had been taken in packaging.

General rule of thumb for me is to give my trees their sunlight first thing in the AM. Your point about burning the moisture off the leaves sounds very plausible. My theory is that nights are pretty much the only cool thing about summer, which kind of builds in a buffer of thermal protection...

I use the same welded wire material that I use for my fruit tree cages. The cool thing about it, is that willows are basically whips the first year, so I made, let's say 40-50 cages that were only 4-5 inches in diameter. I used wire cutters to cut the bottom layer off so it can be poked into...

This isn't the best picture, but to the right of the photo you can see the spray line where we mowed back briars and then hit with dual herbicide before planting and fencing off soybeans. I left a slight feathering of the briars to the right of the spray line before it drops down into the...
