I would say that was exactly happened this year. Just when you thought it was warming up it was in the 40s again.

It is over the whole tree but sparse. Maybe about 20 of these flowers. Nothing like the first bloom when the whole tree was blossoms.

I have a red anjou pear tree that bloomed out weeks ago, maybe even a month. It has fruit on it the size of a dime. I took a ride in back and it has flowers on these long stems. Is this normal? What is going on with this tree?

I do layering also. I take those landscaping staples to pin them down, but I don't dig them up. I just let them grow there. I think it is the fastest best way to get them to spread. You just have to have some that are established first.

I had good growth out of the ROD cuttings i planted at home last spring. From last spring till now about 18 inches. I poked them thru a piece cardboard and it seemed to work pretty well to keep the weeds down. The other picture is cuttings i planted this spring.

I think it is the weather conditions. I didn't have the best radish or turnips the past 2 years either. I believe it was 3 years ago I had huge turnips the size of a baseball cap. Pictures are on here somewhere. I've been doing plots up at my place over 20 years . The ideal planting week I've...

Nevermind, no they don't. All sold out now.

Yes, I think they had a bunch left over still. The dolgo rootstock is all sold out.

Received my order yesterday Keer Roadkill crab Bigdog Hunters deer pear 10 antovonka rootstock All the trees look great, the roots are really impressive.

After trial and error for many years. Besides caging them, the best tip I can give is to just have only one bud ( sometimes two)above the ground. You want the cutting putting most of its energy into .making roots not leaves the first year. I still get 8-12 inches of growth a year. Since I...

I have this weird object on my camera. It is in two of the pictures and is moving. This is in far Northern WI and I don't believe that there is any insects out yet. What do you think it could be?

I was going to say to get a Nova. Also agree with you on the 870s. I think they were good in the past. I borrowed a old wingmaster that I really liked, but the 870 express ruined them for me. I think it's one of the cheapest, poor quality shotguns out there.

We had the same trouble up by my property. We could not get anyone to even call back. I had my friend call and try also. He had 10 acres to lime and they wouldn't get back to them . The first thing the asked i"s this for a food plot." I finally got one place that answered the phone. They said...

I would definitely spread them out. The recommended spacing is 8-10 feet in rows. When I planted my the first go round I didn't cage mine and they just disappeared. I'm not sure if it was rabbits or deer but the following year there was no sign they were ever there. I would try to do whatever...

I would think that would be a bit too big for grouse. It seems like the crabs under 5/8 inch and smaller is what they usually prefer. I could see turkeys pecking and eating full size apples but not grouse. If your looking for something besides small crabs, Washington hawthorn and highbush...
