What I would do........if they are already in a mix....... I would split the difference since too many variables to predict, especially future rain 1. Prepare seed bed 2. Spread half the seed and lightly disk ( only let the disk cut about an inch or less) 3. spread the other half of the seed...

Yea, I also have had two hail storms this spring, I fertilized a little and it has been warm and wet, perfect storm. It still hurts my feeling after babying for several years to get them exactly where you want them. $%^&&*()(&.

Do you fertilize your pear trees? I did lightly this year and I am sure it is part of my problem

I try to buy pear and apples that are disease resistant as possible but you are at the mercy of information that you can gather. I planted 10 pear trees from The Wildlife Group 7 years ago and have had a several pears the last three years but they have really developed into nice and loaded...

Dang that had to be disappointing

what state sir?

Some on your wives may say Chinese Chestnut blooming

Well sometime I just moan and fight in the field but usually I take all from the box and actually put three zip ties on each but leave the ties loose as possible so they are trained by the time I need them in a few days. After having zip ties for a few days they are just as easy to handle as...

Those would work great for me on every tree that I plant but not on apples or crabapples. Deer love the leaves too much of apple trees and when the whip pops out of that tube the deer will trim the tip off daily. My deer population is not that out of whack and would not bother pears or...

Just to follow up, all 6 of the grafts seem to have taken and are growing even though they spent 12 days in the mail. Tougher than I would of thought

I agree very abnormal to see these pups, I have seen fox pups very young two times and hear about people seeing fox pups and even bobcats babies occasionally but not coyotes. This is not normal, maybe just outlier but more likely something else at play than chance encounter

Well wheat here comes up about anytime if you get moisture in my nick of the woods. We joke how often we see wheat germinated and starting to grow in the back of pickup trucks. I recently had 35 acres logged and the logger ran over the logging roads with a dozer and made them smooth and drain...

I was thinking about that Cat, maybe kill the females and leave one male to nurse, so mom would not come back into heat

If I was a gambling man, I would bet mom moves them tonight
