Natty, anything you like from them for late season stalk hunting? Like december / january on decent days. PA opened up sunday hunting, so making a good go of it this year. Bought a new to me flintlock too. Try to have a white one and brown / camo one.

The best pickle in the jar is the first one. trailman looks like a good one. Never ate one, but got 2 trailmans planted and topworked a tree this year with it.

While those are cosnidered small seeds. Some of those seeds are like 4 times the volume of another. I have never done a full rootcrop / brassica plot alone. I always mix with clovers, peas, and grains. However, I an quite surprised 1 lb / acre of those small seeds can do. Whats the plan...

Echinaccia / coneflowers are good too. Rake / dethatch your lawn in august / septpember, then frost seed ladino or meddterrain clover. There's a variety of oregano that grows in lawns naturally, dark leaves / purple fuzzy head flowers. Bees go nuts over it in the spring. 1/2 acre of clover...

Look up yellow nutsedge and mace sedge. Broomsedge is another one. The leaves have steps vs flat n smooth. Where the leaf node is more distinct than grass in triangular shape. Sedge often grows in areas where its wet long enough for most other things to die. Sedge hunkers down in root...

I got a chestnut on m111 at home. Growing well on year 2. No rust, no signs of scab yet. Hard to tell insects resistance. I spray 3-4 times a year malathion mostly. Probably be good to have around for sure. However, I would have kerr around before I would chestnut. Got 2 at home, 2 at...

I do my home's 2 acre or so area and about another 2 acres of snowmobile trail between my club and hte neighbors about 20-30ft wide 3/4 mile long with the swisher 42" rough cut mower. IT does the job. Paid $500 for it in 2020. Briggs motor is splash lubricated so it doesn't last a long life...

$2 a pound in ny is not unreasonable. Walmart has mulch on clearance $1 a 2 cu ft bag. Bought 60. Tax write-offs..........

Nice. I peel mine

Did a single spray of bonide copper spray. Surprised how well golden delicious, pristine, and droptine did. Really filled the tank with copper to control peach leaf curl on a few saturn peaches.

fried apple pies? new to me.

Had a few failed grafts this year. Did a few chip bud or T-bud, and a few tongue and whips. Put chip below last good bud. They worked. Dont go by most desired scion, go by best quality scion.

One side tight, other side loose. Take vernier claipes and measure, usually right side is wider machined than left. Nice smooth taps. MAybe hamer down lightly on dovetails before replacing. Get sights good use locite bushing retainer. Much much easier if you already have dovetail. Had to...
