I remember when daylight savings time first started. Not all states did it at first. Here is an idea move the time one half hour and leave it there. I call that compromise.
Planted some native Columbine starts.Added more potting mix to the tub and planted more Columbine seed. I had neglected my native patch for a few years. So I am boosting the number of plants.
I found this apple tree on an exit ramp. I tried to identify it and I believe it is candy crab. An apple crab planted as a landscape ornamental. Matched it from Blue Hill wildlife nursery. Very good taste.
I used to have a neighbor that fed the coons. After eating dog food at his place they would come over and try to get chicken. He would not believe me as he thought they would be full. They got old and moved to town. We would have coffee together at a restaurant. I would tell him when I live...
Hauled mulched leaves to the compost pile. Cloudy and cooler with rain coming later. We need rain. Worked on shaving down some tree roots. They were getting hard to mow over.
I grew up doing black walnuts. A hammer and concrete. Later I cracked them in a vise. I moved on to nut crackers like Master nut cracker. Then I discovered people using diagonal wire cutter to crack out the hard to get meat. I posted because this tree is the easiest to crack I have found. I...
Hulled more walnuts and test cracked a few. Left side was cracked and just fingers to remove shell. Right side is from another tree and more work needed to get all the meat out.
Sunshine. :) I tried watching movies early on YouTube. Nope. story line was all the same on them. A pissy woman and her transformation into a likable person and some romance. Seen to many of those.
No sunshine today. Mowed mulched leaves. Hulled more walnuts. Cracked a few. Small nuts but thin shelled and cracks out big pieces. I think this tree is a winner. On public ground.
Frost here. Anywhere from 29 to 33 depending on which weather app you chose. I have 31. I need to mow leaves with mower on mulch. Not all leaves are down yet. I may start the fire pit and hull walnuts in the sun near the fire. Trying to adjust to the cool weather.
A systemic herbicide, such as glyphosate or 2, 4-D, can be applied to the foliage in late summer. It will be taken down to the root. A more targeted approach would be to cut the plant near the ground and apply undiluted herbicide to the wound. The herbicide has a shorter trip into the taproot...
Rain ended. Not sure how much we got. Squirrels found my buckets of walnuts. Fried squirrel sounds good. Need to plant the last of my hollyhock starts. Ground should be soft after the rain. Most of the in ground transplants made it. I had to water them often. I pushed their growth with...
Cut the loaf and the best bread yet. I can slice it very thin. I used the posted recipe and took tips tips from this video about getting the gluten to the right point.https://youtu.be/phzRY8FDj4c?si=TJaLNCe0TrubV59R
