I would wait until I received them and then check the roots immediately. If they're dry, contact the nursery. If they are packaged properly, then no harm done.

If that's what the tree looks like now, I would leave it til winter. You can either prune it in winter, or top work it the following spring. Use this year to straighten that trunk out. You can tie little ropes inside the cage to push it back up straight.

They don't have much for apples. It's mostly pear trees and some persimmon seedling bundles.

You should be able to check your email. I usually get an order confirmation telling me what I ordered.

Probably because of the dividend. If the company is giving away money to shareholders, it's because they don't need the cash for growth. Limited growth for the company means limited growth for the share price. The dividend is what you get instead. They're good stocks to have for retirees...

I ordered 6 pear and 10 persimmon from them. I'm going to test the limits of the hardiness zones they advertise. I hope the trees live and the deer like pears. Time to buy some caging material.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll go that route. I'm the same height, and I get a bit fidgety after sitting for a couple hours.

Great blind. Nice work. Why do you guys build them so tall? So you can stand up and stretch your legs? Is it necessary for bow hunting? I'm planning to build a few blinds over the next couple years, and I would prefer to do it right the first time so I don't have to redo them later. I'm...

Good you are getting an early start. I would continue all Summer. In Ontario all the turtles come out of the woodwork around May and June. I always help them across the road when I find them on the highway. By late July we don't really see them anymore on land, but holy cow are they roaming...

That sounds like a great option. Seems like the price is right, too. I will probably go for that if I can.

Oh yes. There are varieties spanning late June to mid October. Pawpaws are also said to be extremely fragrant. Perfect for attracting deer and establishing a travel pattern, and offering early-season hunts on pre-rut bucks. Rebecca's gold is reported to ripen in early to mid October in Ohio...

Almost entirely caused by China and Covid, which is also China. China welched on the Phase One trade agreement to the tune of 100 billion dollars. This is why I'm getting annoyed with Trump. He should put the screws to China and make a more mutually beneficial agreement with Mexico and...

Depends on your trust. If you're a few people in the same household or the same town, probably easy peasy. Our trust has a lot of people scattered all over, so it's quite a hassle to get everyone fingerprinted in any sort of timely manner, and some of the old curmudgeons don't want to be...

Yes. It used to be a piece of cake. Now everyone on the trust has to get fingerprinted. Not sure if I will bother doing it again.

Make sure to adjust if the seed is coated. The clover and chicory I buy is usually coated, which means less actual seed per measure.
