starting my own crabapple timeline yesterday I grafted 8 southern crabapple trees with dolgo scion from my own dolgo stock Sandbur, here I come!!!!!!! bill

Brings a smile My first planting of sunflower ~ 10 years ago was a huge success I guess the deer figured out what they were and demolished them every year since bill

25.7 degrees in east texas last week All new growth on sawtooth, bur , chestnuts schmoked Hopefully,they recover bill

Keith Berns at green cover has a 2 min video covering milpa planting rates, tips etc Google up milpa drill settings bill

we also have plenty of goat weed, sweet gum, china berry , and American elm if interested thanks bill

I got a notice from green cover seed that milpa is back in stock For those who have drilled this mix, what settings worked well? bill

I paid special attention to this during my December- February plantings this year Each 3 gal container seedling got a total of 10 gal water in a very generous size planting ghole bill

Uh huh bill

Starting to get top growth on mine planted 3/2/26 in the 1 gal rootmaker RBIIs bill

One other dolgo seedling..... 2 years old bill

giving this another try I planted 6 tubers that I ordered on eBay into 1 gal RB II rootmaker pots yesterday bill

I have one dolgo that is a proven winner/producer that is now 8 years old a few weeks ago I cut some scion wood to bark graft on to common southern crabapple bill

agree with first sentence In east texas, any apple that I can grow is a good one Chill hours, rain,etc at a premium here bill

Not sure this counts, but I started 10 rootmaker 18 trays this week: 3 chestnut,2 DCO,2 live oak, 2 bur oak , and 1 Castanea seguinni bill

all of mine were schmoked in the texas summer heat , lack of rain, etc perhaps its time to revisit the idea with a different planting location bill
