Apparently I missed something last night. I should have stated in my original post that I in no way endorse the theory that Thomas Crooks is Elizabeth Warren's son. There is no way that conspiracy theory is true as it would have to involve someone having sex with Elizabeth Warren and I find that...

I would wait until it goes dormant this fall and cut it as marked and with the same angle. I would not go much lower than that since it looks like the trunk and branch are fused.

If you want to use the plums as a screen, I would not tube them. I have tubed a couple and caged several more. The caged ones are much bushier while the tubed plums look like trees with no real branching in the tube. I did not cage each plum individually. I basically created a fence on both...

I plant the acorns in January or February. I am in the south so you can adjust accordingly on when to plant them. I usually plant the seedlings between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The only trees I keep more than a few months are ones that I graft. I will graft the following spring and transplant...

I have used recycle bins, storage totes, and large, deep pots with a lot of success. There is more dirt in the larger containers so they don't dry out as quickly. Roots will get tangled, but it isn't that hard to separate the roots when it is time to plant them. You can plant 50 acorns in a bin...

If you were already standing on it, why didn't you rip your Buck 124 off your waist and take care of it? You need to find something to do with the skin or at least the rattle because that is going to be one good story for the rest of your life.

The National Wildlife Federation has a web site that allows you to type in your zip code and it provides a list of plants native to your area. It also ranks the plants based upon insect use. Goldenrod is the number 1 plant in my area with 82 species using Goldenrod. The site is at...

Here is my take. The list could compromise a couple of Republican congressmen or senators in Democratically controlled states. If the congressmen are forced to resign, the Democrat governor would be allowed to appoint a Democrat into the position before elections next year or a special election...

I don't cut the tubes when removing them. I usually remove tubes when the tree is 3-4 years old and roughly three to four feet out of the tube. I will do my best to slide the tube over the branches even if that means trimming a few branches. The branches are pretty flexible at this age. Trimming...

It really is dependent on each individual tree as far as when to remove the tube. Seedlings can be the same height out of the tube but have vastly different calipers. One may be able to support itself fine, while the same height seedling next to it falls over. If the tree is out of the cage by...

I had a Treeing Walker Coonhound. When at my property, I would get up in the morning, feed her, and then see her around dinner time. She was everywhere but by your side. I currently have a Beagle and Beagle/Treeing Walker Coonhound mix that aren't as bad but would rather explore than walk with...

$2800? Ouch! For that much, the guy should have bought and installed a new door for you and not just replaced the springs. Hopefully you can find some recourse against them. If nothing else, blow up their Google review and any other review sites you can find.

Why is her tongue out in both photos?
