So a strange thing happened the past 10 days..the bucks that normally show up on my place cruising for does in early to mind November have showed up..and wow have they showed up..several of the biggest bucks I’ve seen on my property have showed up..and several times too! Not quite in daylight...

I’ve done several plantings in northern PA of pear, apples and crabapples into the third week in November had every one of them come back and get to growing well the next spring. Just gotta make sure the ground isn’t frozen solid using a soil temp map. I feel like it gives them a bit of a leg...

I’m gonna throw Rubyrush out there..great tasting apple, fast growing, seemingly pretty disease resistant and even nice to look at!

Found a few clover with this unusual coloring in my front field yesterday. This is not a field with great soil and there is an abundance of thistle in certain parts of it. Any idea what this could be? I’ve planted several different varieties of red and white clover in this field over the past...

Yeah I think they need another year or two to develop some muscle tone and put on some weight….😳

Hey just started a new job so I’ve been busy but didn’t do all that much this summer on the plots besides adding some brassicas, clover and WR, mowing and doing some picking of fruit! (My 3 year old loves the pears.) we have had a not so great drought for the past 2 months, but I took a pic of...

Just email Terry and ask he’s pretty cool and easy to deal with..might take him a little to get back to you

Already added another Death Wish and a feather Up to my cart..just haven’t pulled the trigger yet

Now you’re gonna make me order another tree…

Pretty sure they’re the same.. See this thread: https://habitat-talk.com/threads/olympic-korean-giant-pear.14938/

adding Korean Giant to my list..I know I know there are too many pears on this little tree (planted 2023) and I picked a couple before they were totally ripe, but wow are they sweet!

Would have to put Blue Hill’s Harvest Pear on this list..I planted this tree in the spring of 2023…it’s now about 12’ tall and has several dozen pears on it..my son and I shared one the other day and it was super sweet and better than anything I’ve ever had from the store!

Bought a few bags of WR at a local Amish store (have bought from there before with good results). A friend that I help with habitat stuff did the same and we broadcast it into some nuked fields and some fields that already had clover in them. It’s been a week and a half..with very little...

Definitely graft them. Just watch some YouTube videos on how (if I can do it it’s not that hard haha). Got one In my front yard that has 5 pear varieties on it. Will have a dozen next year.

I did the same thing..only got 4 total (1 was one of the new pricy ones)..also but a peach and a cherry for my front yard for people to eat..I’ll probably add more later if I can find or make some room for them…
