There are so many variables like European or Asian or Triploid so maybe tough to find the perfect pollinator for both varieties. I think it would be money well spent to research what pear pollinates each variety that you own and then buy a new tree for each of your trees. Sounds like to me it...

Since I am retired what concerns me is how AI is going to affect my retirement account. You could argue that all the unemployment could crash the market but you could also assume that since every business will improve then the market will roar. Anyone read or researched how the market will be...

Sowed clover on snow last week. This week I have been pruning apple and pear trees and collecting scions.

I sowed clover on top of snow in several fields yesterday. I have great luck doing this in the past even getting a good stand of clover in cow pastures with thick fescue. I am considerably farther south than most of you so I understand the too early up North but Feb. has proven great for me...

I agree and hate baiting, but I wonder if you could elaborate a bit on some of the ways baiting hurts wildlife. I would like to have the knowledge in my head for future discussions with the master baiters.

I agree but it is ignored for a reason in Ky and that reason is money. Most of the budget comes from selling tags and hunting license and if you outlaw baiting then fewer people will hunt and fewer with by a license.

I drive a T post in the ground like 4 to 5 feet above ground, slide a pvc pipe over T post leaving top 15 inches or so of T post uncovered with PVC. I then wire the bird box to the T post, also setting it on top of the pvc (very cheap and quick way to mount. Like H2O bottom pic but with PVC...

Yes I think it would help the birds but it would also add to the enjoyment of the farm. A bluebird box or a tree swallow box that you can open to view the babies and watch the parents bringing in food is like listening to a bullfrog. I have put up dozens of boxes and most are used the first...

If they have had 1000's of ICE agents there for weeks and weeks you would think most of the illegals have been caught or pushed out of the city. If I was an illegal with a criminal record I would have left that city the first night of ICE. Why would you fish the same lake 24 hours a day for...

I say crash not in the sense of the move but the movement of almost the entire market. Call it small drop if you wish the results are the same. I am saying Trump drops the stock market with all his chaos and then fixes the problem in 24 hours to 48 hours and it bounces back immediately. He...

I agree bush hogging in late fall makes golden rod thicker and thicker, this behavior tends to eliminate other species. I don't mean to be negative but if you have plenty of Golden rod then probably many of your bush hogging fall neighbors also have golden rod. So maybe a little more...

Trump crashed stock market today to create buying opportunity for cronies, something he has done often in the past. I bet he pull back on threats and the market recovers very quickly. If you think I am crazy then I would sell stocks and buy gold but if you agree with me then I would buy the...

As I am looking at the trees I have in the ground and shopping for new trees to buy for birds a thought of something from an earlier post. Native Hunter posted a pic of his Golden Hornet crab in the spring with previous years apples and this year blooms on the tree at the same time. This tells...
