Good to know that’s an option. Thanks

I didn't think about burning until hillrunner suggested it. Not sure if there is enough stubble to keep a fire going. Thanks! He is 6.

What is your spraying schedule when planting in May?

Finally caught up with a buck, not on my property but it was a buck I have lots of history with on a permission piece. My son decided he wanted to try and get a buck so I got him a late muzzleloader tag. We had another very memorable hunt and he connected on his first buck! I always...

Do you get the smaller size or the bigger size? Sounds like the small size is only 1/8 inch. Not sure that’s gonna be big enough for most of my scion.

Anyone have a good source for Dolgo Rootstock for grafting this winter/spring? Chief River has them, they're 12-18" seedlings for $5.31/each or 2'-3' for $16.35 each 😳 if I buy atleast 25. Wonder what the diameter would be on a 12to18" seedling? I messaged Ryan at Bluehill to see if he will...

How is Malus doing for you? I think he quit selling to due to it being susceptible to fb right? I have a few growing that have not fruited yet. I debated grafting them over to something else if I am going to have issues in the future. Thanks!

Photo Dump 11/18/25 Pond Structure Overflow Installation, My Sons first deer, a memory I will never forget. Persimmons and Chestnuts on Novemer 1st. A buck tore the cage off and rubbed one of my best norways, hopefully it will make it. First bobcat for me.

I have 5 of the x66 cameras. I like them. 3 of them have the solar panels. They have been running for a couple months now. If they get lots of sun they will keep charged. If the sun is filtered, then you'd probably want to run them on picture only mode. I have a couple in hybrid mode...

I won't have many this year. I will let you know next year if it produces any, which I'm wondering if it won't have many? Aren't white oaks somewhat biennial?

It really is, it has not been babied either as you can see. I am certainly taking better care of it now after seeing what it is doing.

I had my first Chestnut crab last year, they are one of my favorites so far. Along with Kerr, this is the first year I have had them and I picked them all.

I have some planted in 2020. They’re consistently outpacing swo planted the same time. There is one freak in the bunch that is about 3 times the size of the others with about 20 acorns this year. This is also something the Iowa State website says regarding this tree that I thought was...

First fruit on Ides Of March for me. Any updates from others who have had it fruiting longer?

We got 3 + inches of rain last week and the pond came up quite a bit. The problem is, it’s not complete. It will be pumped out to finish. Hopefully it’s a good sign it will collect and hold enough water to fill it once we’re done. I started working on some artificial structure as well. I...
