That holds true for any containerized plant. If I am looking for them at stores I try to get them as quickly as I can to help reduce the stress on them, and get them into the actual soil as quickly as I can. I try to loosen the roots and the like when I get them this way and I water them...

Seeds won't be an issue - just remind me....because I suffer from CRS..... Can't Remember $h!t! Scions might be possible......as well. I will see what I can do about that as well. I don't do the grafting thing....so when would I cut those?? I will be honest, I'm gonna use my tree...

I have had pretty poor results with Chestnut trees....to the point I am considering planting Chinese varieties. What I have planted have been from Chestnut hill as container plants. I have slightly better luck with persimmons. The chestnut trees I either get some that do great, or they...

I have a bunch of the native ones in my creek bottom. They are not deer food.....the other critters get to them well before they ever hit the ground. The native ones I have are also a little picky. Full shade of full sun and they won't produce fruit, its like they need just the right...

This is why we haven't done this already......it sounds like a huge PITA. And thus my question of if it's worth it. I will talk to some locals and see what they do and who they work with. I may be making this far more complicated than it needs to be......

good to know. This is all fairly new to me....the wife took care of all the $$ stuff.

I am looking for folks that have some experience with owning an LLC. I am considering creating an LLC (single person) for my farm. In the past to my knowledge we have just absorbed the income from the farm into our household income and paid taxes accordingly (filing jointly). My...

Thank you everyone.... I type and I type, and regardless of the words I use.....it just doesn't seem to be accurate. The best thing I have come up with is that it's like being super homesick......while you are sitting at home. No matter how many people you put in that house......you know...

Wanted to touch base here.....and provide an update. Pam passed on the 23rd. She passed at home with her friends and family at her side. I was hoping to be more active here, but things obviously got worse. When radiation was over the Doctors where very impressed at how well the response...

I got mine from Bill and put the stalks in water and once they started to root then into containers and finally into the ground. I have spread mine around the farm but always done when dormant. I suspect as long as you can keep them damp enough to grow but not flood them out......you got...

Buying your kid a gun..... my kids just claim mine as their own! They are legal adults.....and they still got grubby, sticky little fingers!! They get all upset when I want to use MY gun. I would bet that most hunters started off with either a Mossy 500, Remington 870 or a Winchester...

No - not double cropping, just working hard! That more than likely is a pretty mature doe. First of all she has the ability to actually support 3. Then she has the experience to keep all 3 of them alive to this point.... Now.....she is probably the one you will hear blowing at you...

Classic - Hank Jr, Willie, Waylon, Cash, Alabama, George Straight, Conway Twitty, Kenny, Bellamy Brothers more recent - Allan Jackson, Brad Paisley, Toby Keith Don't care too much for the more modern stuff.....Zack Brown, Eric Church and Luke Combs are a few exceptions

As long as the hustle and bustle of life is silenced and as long as the weather cooperates and I'm outside.......I can find a happy place. Sometimes you have to go looking for it......sometimes if you give it a chance.....it will find you. I can be taking the dogs to the creek I can be sitting...

I can't speak for my entire state.....but I know on my place turkey numbers have increased over the past few years. It used to be fairly rare to see a turkey and now we see them fairly often. I don't hunt them....but my boy does. He has taken a bird the past few years off the place...
