Ok now I'm down $30. I'd like to formally apologize to all of you for buying in and ruining all of your investments. haha

They're located not far from me. We had a very mild winter and temps in the 60's and 70's in March. Probably why they're budded out so early. They dig them up and put them in a pole barn type building. Not sure how long before they ship them that they do that though.

Man they are building hospitals and doctor's offices all over the place in central PA. UPMC and Hershey seem to be in a war like Rite Aid and CVS were. There are two brand new hospitals within 5 miles of each other in the last 10 years plus numerous upgrades and expansions.

If you can get a mower there, just mow them up. I plant a lot of rye too. That seems to help keep the leaves off as they resume growing in the spring.

Not sure what your plans are too but sometimes easements are just for vehicle access. If you ever plan to build something the easement may not include utility access.

I thought it might be mange. There are quite a few mangy looking foxes around. I'm not sure how it affects deer though.

haha. In between, much closer to $1 than $1 million by quite a lot. So much closer to genius. Ha

Walnut nuts, the hulls will start out green and turn black and get mushy.

That is a hickory nut hull. Walnuts will be much bigger and if they've been laying around, they'll stain your hands black. I don't believe deer eat hickory nuts but the squirrels will love them.

What do you think might cause this?

Haha I owe all of you for most of it. I put the majority in the standard S&P 500 and some other less risky plays but then kept some to play around with I guess. Bought some Valero and others based on info you guys all provided. We'll see what happens. I apologize if the market crashes. I'm...

Alright. I finally started an investment account with Fidelity. I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm up $14.62 in two days so I must basically be a genius. hahaha

Sorry yes it was a purple top turnip.

Went to check things out this past weekend and noticed the radishes I planted last fall appear to be growing again. We had a very mild winter. Is this common? Also I'm amazed how big some of them got. This one was bigger than a softball.

I'm trying some "frost" seeding this year although it was just 77 the other day. Now back in the 30's. We'll give a shot though.
