Bill ..... keeping Emerald green Arbovitae, American Arbovitae, Thuja Green Giant, Leyland Cypress, and GREEN GIANT Arbovitae characteristics from getting jumbled in my mind often takes more effort than I am able/willing to expend. We attempted to use Emerald Green for some light screening...

they are NOT (see explanation below) shade intolerant ... Correct answer ... the more sun, the better; however, beyond perhaps growing a little slower, and maybe less dense, they will survive/thrive with 4-5 hours of sun.

After noticing that fellows jeans, I wondered if he caught them on artificial lures or was "hogging" em. Just joking ... plus, those folks know how to fish. Great pond/lake maintenance! A recent issue of Texas Monthly magazine carried a story about private lakes in TX where the fishery is...

You ultimately will make nice returns from shares you buy in the near future; however, don't be surprised if the market craters to a new low within anywhere from a few weeks to 2-3 months. I don't believe this is going to end well. Even now, if I was buying, I'd be dollar-cost averaging...

waterhemp? if so, can be hard to eradicate; also, hard to identify when it's young https://crops.extension.iastate.edu/encyclopedia/waterhemp If it turns out to be chickweed, this will describe its value to wildlife and treatment methods if you choose to treat ...

Well done my friend .... QCDs or tax liability averaging; the opposite of dollar cost averaging are a couple of options to lower your tax liability in comparison to a big dump (obviously, you know all that) ... would be nice if DJT lowered the cap. gains rate instead of the corporate rate so you...

There are 2 ,major reasons why they float and surprisingly, they can be related. The number 1, and most frequent reason is because they lost moisture content ... either got too hot or when refrigerated suffered evaporation (need to check periodically on those in fridge to ensure the paper...

Pollarding ... which creates "Trubs" Yes, you can look it up.... https://www.plantamnesty.org/wp-content/uploads/Pollarding.pdf 😉

I'd be pretty cautious at this point ... definitely wouldn't do anything until after Wednesday (4-9) even if there is a little bounce back on Monday or Tuesday. Folks, we're in uncharted waters with the possibility of a full blown tariff war. Y'all may have bigger gonads than me and I'm pretty...

Enjoyed all the photos ... thanks Bill and Tooln

From investopedia ... with catch-up provisions, older Americans can salt away a pretty substantial sum; however, it wasn't always that generous. Those 55 and up probably show the results of peak earning years and and, an increased willingness to save as they begin to contemplate retirement. If...

Really big numbers and the resulting tariffs (assuming the importer pays all or most of it and passes it through to the consumer) results in bigger payments to the U.S. Govt (again, with the consumer picking up some or most of the tab. Monies to fund the administrations wish list or agenda. An...

The Academy in Corpus Christi had an enormous array of fishing tackle and equipment; the best place to get stainless steel kahle hooks. I like them as well, or better, for catching large catfish. I suspect that isn't CC since there are no trucks (and none with brush guards) visible in the...
