Plant Miller and Deer Magnet. They will cover October and November for you in KY.

Unfortunately, my Black Oxford went down in the severe storm we had two years ago. I tried setting it back up and bracing it, but with the heat of the hot summer and drought it didn't survive. Since that time I have only planted some Blue Hill trees and haven't replaced it. Perhaps in the...

That’s sad, and I hear that same thing from several people.

I sometimes wonder how we have any turkeys. We don’t have very many here like we used to.

That's a good looking Job. I'm also planting and caging RODs now. My intent is to get them established well in the cages and then move the cages to new locations. If the birds will help, that will be good too. The birds single handedly have got arrowwood virbunums planted everywhere for me...

If you aren't getting a decent rain every 10 days or so, I feel that new trees need to be watered their first year during summer. I might even water some in the second year if there was an extended drought that lasted for weeks upon weeks. However, after that I feel that most fruit trees...
