My little piece of dirt.....

[huntall]

The ones producing are between 4 and 6 years. I have different age trees and 3 age groups are making. The 5 and 6 years are loaded good.

Checked my native persimmons and they are looking good so far. That's good news because iv got a good many growing on my place.

Well....all my work on my place is pretty much at a stand still. At least on the 60+ acres of timber.
Timber guy called yesterday and says he should b ready in a couple weeks. I would have liked for him to have been about a month earlier, but I sure didn't want him cutting during deer season.
At least I have my big regeneration thicket and the 20 acres I have planted in trees that is a thicket now. I should still have some deer bedding on my place after cutting the big timber

Timber harvest pictures are always interesting. Please post some.

I'm sure most of it is going to look pretty sad the first year, but after that the thicket will begin. We are having to clear cut more than we originally thought. Bugs starting in pines

I know things don't always work on our schedule but they work out in the end, Good luck!

Yep. ...that's right. My big woods had almost no bedding area. Going to be good days ahead in couple years.

If they leave the tops I bet you'll see bedding this year.

On a side note. "Damn pine bark Beatles"

I know right. ..about the beetles
At least I'm able to salvage most of the timber. About ready to get an inflow of money for a change

I think I'm meeting up with my timber man this weekend to go back over the Boundary lines. ......man I'm kinda impatient when it comes to this kinda stuff. I'm ready to see what it is going to look like to see what kina ideas I will get on what needs to be done after the cut.

The figs are loaded and for last week or so they have been ripe. I always try to get me a couple good pickings before the wildlife get to them.I love fig preserves!
This is picture before they ripened.

Catching up on all these threads over here. Love your sawtooth orchard. Hard to beat native persimmons for soft mast.

Thanks. ..the sawtooth orchard is my favorite project!
I guess cause most of the sawtooth I grew from seed.

My grandmaw has a fig tree and I could eat myself sick under that thing. Even in town we still have to fight the birds, squirrels, and such for them.

If you make your own preserves instead of white sugar use a 50/50 mix of honey and raw cane sugar. Takes fig preserves to a whole different level.

I'll have to try that and then serve with fresh biscuits. My wife loves honey so I know it would be a hit with her

Iv been so busy lately. Sold my house and hopefully about to get a land purchase worked out.
I made time to take my youngest son squirrel hunting last weekend. This was his first hunt with him being the shooter. He woke me up at 4 am to see if it was time to get up and go hunting.lol

 

[huntall]

He killed his first squirrel. He was really excited

We found a hornets nest.
