Surviving Minnesota!

Ralphie do people in your area grow flowering pear or ornamental pear like Bradford ? Curious about their survival in the banana belt . Here I use the seedlings as rootstock . I also use quince and one of the old home rootstocks .

Ok found my answer . Cleveland select zone 4 . Quince is zone 5 . So flowering pear should grow in your area . Lots of seedlings growing wild plus root suckers on ones I have grafted . That is a minus for flowering pear they sucker but mowing keeps them in check . Kind of a semi dwarf .

PC babies! Congratulations Ralphie. They are beautiful and I"m sure they will be beautiful adults as well.

DD has one BB game left on SAturday and DS has another week of BB and then it's done. Tires on the car can cool off....

I left the door on the run open today. I hope I'm not down a bird when I get home. But with this nice weather...they should be out. Still some land lock issues with snow. But They've got quite patch they can still do some scratching about with. You can tell they are just in heaven to get out....

Came home to our dog, Maya, in the house. She's never allowed in. My mom was on a call and heard her start crying and she must have slipped or something. She cant walk on her back left leg(I think it's her left) so we have a vet appointment scheduled for tomorrow.

Chicks shipped out from McMurray about 1/2 an hour ago

That is cool.. Did she pancake for you?

Yes she doesn't want me touching her egg babies!

I would like to get some day old chicks to give her instead of fertile eggs, I want the best chance at girl chickies. I had too many boys last year.
SO does anyone have sex link chicks I can get in the next couple weeks????

It rained here all afternoon, then sleet that turned to snow and it was the BIGGEST snow flakes we have ever seen! I could here them THUNK as they hit my head. It was really pretty but I don't want anymore snow

So is the eel pout festival going on now . Could get sloppy with recent rain and warm up .

I believe it's this coming weekend, bad ice. No vehicles are allowed on the ice, I wouldn't think anyone would want to be on it, walking. It's going to be a windy cold weekend. Don't know who'd want to be out there...
