    Winter is not through with us yet. Forecast here is calling for a possibility of winter precip mid week. I am very tired of this winter. Nothing like last year. Now it is 70f and a strong line of thunderstorms are approaching. Wind is howling. Cold is coming. Happy to hear this! ETA My...

    I had to learn too. My first couple years with the veggie garden was disastrous. 🤣 BIL set me straight. We live and learn.

    I think this may be just the beginning. Still early. You did not lime before your original planting? If not it is a good idea to do so. Our soil here is very acid also. Just know as saysfaa says, lime takes time to work.

    Could be pignut hickory. We've found a few in the woods here. Not tasty at all. Never tried to cut the wood. Surprised the ducks gave them a try. About your pasture, have you thought about seeding with something like rye grass or fescue until stuff comes back? It will germinate quickly at...

    I see patchy green bits in your photo. I would not tear up the ground too much but wait and see. I think you will see more greening as spring nears. If you have bare spots show up, just seed these areas. Is that hickory nuts I see? Bet the goats like them.

    I think you will have a lot of things come back from the root or seed left by the plants. I'm zone 8a. We have a couple acres that could be used as pasture for animals. It is open to full sun so this is where the veg garden is. We never seeded this area so what grows was planted by mother...

    I never thought about making vinegar with them. I'll have to research that. We have a couple large scuppernongs that we planted about 25 years ago. They put off lots each year. We also have wild black and bronze ones that come up wild everywhere on our property. I am always digging them...

    I've been pulling it or digging it out since we moved here in 1992. No matter what it comes back. Easier to remove when small. I find it rather stinky and itchy and the smell should repel something.
