What do you think might cause this?

Went to check things out this past weekend and noticed the radishes I planted last fall appear to be growing again. We had a very mild winter. Is this common? Also I'm amazed how big some of them got. This one was bigger than a softball.

I have all my cameras set to take a picture then a video. It sucks for battery life and takes a lot of memory to save videos, but I feel like so much is missed with just a picture. Take the video below for example. When I flipped through the pictures all I saw was the little doe in front of...

Does anyone have a solution to the noisy zippers on blinds? There is nothing I hate more than sneaking in to a stand and then zzzzzzziiiiiiipppp to get in. The same when leaving. I want to sneak out silently and I can't because of that stupid zipper. Anyone have any solutions/alternatives...

I've had a nice 8 pt. very visible in the daylight. Never a good thing around me. Especially when he hangs out in the wide open hayfield next door. He's walked by this stand at least 5 times in the daylight in the last week. I might have a good shot at him opening day. Of course this...

Well we just added this cute little pain in the ass to our family. She's part beagle and part something else. We think maybe Dachshund? I'm thinking about training her to be a blood trailing dog and was looking into some of the training aspects. Does anyone have any experience with them? I...

I have a honeycrisp in my backyard. This is it's 2nd year in the ground. It's been a good grower and I let it bloom this year and I got 5 whole apples off of it. I recently picked them and they were really good. After this I noticed tent caterpillars taking up shop on this tree and my red...

Since September 1st seems to be the day most fruit trees websites start sales, anyone have big plans? I'm running out of room personally. I was eyeing up a couple remaining strategic spots yet. Might switch over and start planting some wild pears and apples that I can attempt to graft later...

Anyone else experience a summer lull or is it just me? I'm not sure what it is but the deer, especially buck, just seem to go elsewhere this time of the year. I'll get maybe 10 pics per week on cameras that typically get 50-100. I'm really surprised too because the neighbors still have...

Two with some early promise for me.

I have a chestnut tree, that the idiot tree trimmers for the power company mistakenly cut down. It stump sprouted last year so I caged it. I recently noticed the farm down the road from me has a producing chestnut. I thought about stopping and asking them if I could snip a few scion off and...

Anybody have problems with white mulberries? I found a few growing in the ditch in my backyard and was going to transplant them until I heard they can be invasive.

This is a crabapple that my dad got from the PA Game Commission probably 20+ years ago. The only thing he remembers is that it was a called an asiatic crabapple. The apples are very small. less than 1". The deer eat them but the turkeys love them. He planted some at our family camp in...

I have a Browning Dark Ops that I really like. It's worked fantastic for years. I put Energizer Max batteries in it. I have always been amazed how good this camera is on batteries. One day I checked it and it was dead. No problem. I didn't have any Energizers on me so I just put some cheap...

Anyone know what this is? Found it growing along the road on my property. It has very large leaves that are velvety to the touch. The leaves are about volleyball to basketball sized. Picture this said it was a Princess Tree which is highly invasive. I want to be sure before I cut it down...

Last year I found some black growths on a few branches of my plum trees. I made sure to cut them all off this year but again this year there are large growths on them. It almost looks like the tree is healing over a wound. Some kind of bug burrowing into it?

Is this just a lack of water? Planted this spring before leaf out. We've had a very dry spring. I've watered when I get the chance. I also noticed ants on the leaves at one point.

I've been wanting to do one of these since I joined. I bought my property in 2017. It is just shy of 12 acres in Juniata County, PA, about 40 minutes north of Harrisburg. It was a hunting camp owned by a family in southern PA that had owned/part owned it since the 70's. They left the camp as...

I'm curious to know what everybody's crop rotations are in their plots. From spring to fall and year to year. I've heard that you shouldn't plant brassica's year in and year out. Is that in general or can you plant radishes one year and turnips the next? I tried to do a spring/summer plot...

I'm looking for a fairly quick growing screen for a woods road. I have planted spruce for a long term screen but I would like something a little faster growing in the short term. I'm on the shade side of the mountain with poor soil, so growing is kind of tough. I would prefer something...
