I may give these another try this spring. EHD has decimated the deer herd in my county, so maybe I could plant some without having to cage them all in. I am sure the two fawns and the fork horn I still have left around here may eat a few, but hopefully the rest would live and grow.

This is the Iron Side series of jacket and pants.

Good for mid season or layered for late season. They are too big on me as they fit more like an XL than an L. I am 6', 200lbs and they are baggy on me. Plenty of pockets for storage. Very quiet material. $135 shipped

I am game too. Just let me know shipping costs.

We are finally getting some rain here in SE Ohio. Is it too late to throw some white clover out in hopes it germinates enough to come back in the spring? I realize it won't do much this year, but I am hoping to get it established come spring of 2026. VV

So, is this a Callary Pear then? Prob should cut it down if so.

I purchased what were marked as Ayers Pear trees at a Wal Mart about 5 or so years ago. They have grown decently and have been fertilized once a year since planted. Oddly, one of the trees is producing these very tiny little "pears". I am assuming they won't get much larger since it is the...
