    Stock Market is the bottom in?

    I read an article yesterday that said MSFT and AMZN might be looking to start their own chip production. They have the $$$$$$ to do it.

    Stock Market is the bottom in?

    Diversification. No one segment wins all the time. 5.3% on MM cash hasn't been bad with inflation around 3.1%. We own a couple actively-managed funds, but mostly in several indexes at the advice of our fiduciary CFP. Cover a variety of market segments. For anyone who likes Buffet's advice - an...

    Stock Market is the bottom in?

    Eventually, the ignored become the targets. Smallies are attractive. PE's are good.

    Stock Market is the bottom in?

    Profits like Nvidia is making will attract competition, for sure. AMD is in the mix.

    Chokecherry for lawn tree?

    Birds eat our small-sized, yard crab apples too. Robins, cedar waxwings, cardinals, titmice - all good to watch. That's pretty tame-looking habitat compared to your usual pics, Buck. How far away is your wild acreage?

    Orchard location

    Before you plant any fruit trees at the edges of plots, keep the mature tree and its root system in mind. Small feeder roots on fruit trees can go out 15 feet or more from the trunk, so any future tillage should stay that far away from those fruit trees. Our camp found this out the hard way...

    Orchard location

    We have some in a "main" orchard at camp (same acreage as RGrizz above), and we have a number of them scattered around at likely stand locations. We have about 82 fruit trees total. 2 pieces of advice - make sure they get plenty of sun to get a decent fruit crop, and don't plant them on low...

    Holes in my apple tree

    Sapsuckers will move higher on the tree if they can't get to the lower trunk. There's a historical site near us that has ancient apple trees growing all through the big acreage. Looks like they were shot full of buckshot - but they're still alive and producing. Sapsuckers been drilling them for...

    First Bluebirds of the Year

    Do you have a number of bluebird nest boxes scattered around your area - just to provide nesting sites for them? If so - great job!!! They eat a lot of insects ........ good to have them around, beside their looks and songs.

    Perennial Plot Questions

    Where are you located?? That'll help us give better info for your locality. I'm no expert at soil science and agricultural stuff, but our camp (in NC Pa. mountains) has experimented with minimal-tillage food plots with some good success. Spraying with gly to kill unwanted grasses & weeds is a...

    First Bluebirds of the Year

    Saw our first bluebirds about 2 weeks ago here in SE Pa. They hit our feeders and suet cakes. Grackles are back too - when they show up, we know spring is very close. Big flocks of Canadians flying north the last 2 days.

    Another "To tube, or not to tube" thread

    Kinda smarts when those last pieces come rolling at our backs & whacks us!!! I (now!!) take a 2 ft. re-bar to angle into the ground to prevent that sneak attack. A second re-bar stuck in the ground - at an angle - where I make my cut, keeps the wild end from rolling back tight to the last cut...
