It's oddly leaning towards the hill. I would think it would lean away from the hill to get more sunlight. Next time I'm up I'll look at it a little closer. It's also more open down the hill from it.

It's in an open spot in a small patch of poplars and on the North side of the hill. Definitely not full sun but it gets decent sunlight. I cut down all of the poplars around it.

I did prune it a few weeks ago. I didn't want to take too much off of it. It's only the 2nd year in the ground. Just tried to take off all of the low branches first. I'll try to shape it up better next year.

Glad this wasn't live from the stand!

Really loving this Roadkill Crab. It had 4 small crabapples in its first year in the ground. I missed pinching off the blossoms. This year it's loaded for a small tree yet. Weirdly I have very few blossoms on my more established trees. This tree was still holding the 4 apples minus the one...

Ya I have four plums that are getting fairly big and produce a lot. I need to pick them before they're ripe if I want any because the trees will be loaded and when I come back a week later they're all gone. I need to see if someone wants to trap in the area. I'm an hour away so I wouldn't be...

Oof that's where I'm at. Gen X, behind on my 401K, no pension. Currently renting but would like to buy a house, but also don't want a mortgage til I'm 77. I hate my job so I'd prefer not to work til I die either. Trying to learn the stock market and buy a lottery ticket once a week. haha...

My shoulder has been really sore lately. Finally went to an orthopedic doctor and he said I have the beginnings of a frozen shoulder. I had one in my left shoulder 3 years ago and now getting it in my right. It's supposed to be caused by an injury too the shoulder. No idea what could've...

I planted Allegheny's about 5 years ago. Pretty slow growers for me but it's pretty poor soil also. Just started getting a handful of nuts off a few of them. The biggest are about 8 feet tall while some are still barely out of 4 foot tubes.

Pretty sure CVI ended their dividend just an FYI.

My dad bought me one when I was 13. Kicks like a SOB. Still use it as my turkey gun today. 12 g 3"

Such a smooth swing.

oof I went all in yesterday thinking it was going to take off. guess i'm riding this out now

Whew almost caved and bought some stuff with the upswing this morning. Glad I held off.

I planted some about 4-5 years ago. Have yet to see a sucker or a blossom for that matter.
