  1. Those look fantastic Dog mom!
  2. Ah, ok. That makes more sense. Never having lived in a place with 'dry heat' I always assume everyone suffers with oppressive humidity like we do!
  3. Oak Wilt info and resources. https://texasoakwilt.org
  4. You can slow the spread, and if caught early and have the$, there are antifungal treatments that could save the tree. If I can find it again, I just read an article on Oak Wilt in Texas, and I will post a link.
  5. Annarchy, where are you at, that it is that hot already?
  6. Snow??? Seriously? You poor thing! You and Cricket both having snow!
  7. The really bright one looked like a port wine stain in the sun.
  8. Oh and how could i forget the 4 for trees we planted?? 2 peach and 2 plum! They're all real small, but they will grow.
  9. Early Globe Radishes! Picked about a dozen two days ago. DH said they were tasty I don't like radishes to eat, but i love to grow them...wierd, I know! The snap peas are growing, there are several tomatoes on the plants already, the new blueberries set heavy, all 4 little elderberries survived, as did the Aronia berry bush (looks more like a twig though.) The other garden veggies are in various stages, some corn came up for using new seed, none of the peppers or bush beans sprouted so i got small pepper plants and put them in the road where the beans and peppers failed. The watermelon, cantaloupe, and cucumber plants are not doing great It's been kinda soggy here lately. And Friday I go to pick up a Nuc of Italian honeybees to put in my langstroth hive. Which means I must get to work getting that hive ready!
  10. I miss him too! He was my friend, though we never met irl.
  11. Our other neighbor came over with his tractor and set the sawmill head on the trailer a week ago or so. We ran the mill they some small cedar logs, and then put an oak log on. It was cutting fine until it jumped the blade off the wheels and got bent and jammed (aka ruined a blade). Took an hour or more to sort out how to fix that, put on another blade, and test it to see it it would seat. More adjustments followed. Friday DH and I took the trailer out to the log pile. We started again with bigger cedar logs, cutting stickers to rick up the planks we ended up cutting, because the cedar was gorgeous! DHs original plan was to cut stickers from all the cedar, but it was just too pretty! Mill ran great, though the blade did Nick a piece of metal, throwing off the set of the blade teeth slightly. The imperfections in the plank surfaces will plane out.
  12. Sadly my driveway is gravel and I don't have enough poles. I have used that method for moving a safe over concrete though. Currently one of our neighbors with a big tractor said he could help us.
  13. It's on the Freight truck!! It should arrive Tuesday! Just in time for DHs birthday! More to figure out how to move 1700# of shipping crates from the road edge to the shop... Without a tractor!
  14. Most of the limbs went to Samothrace neighbor for firewood. We will get what we can out of the trunk once the sawmill arrives.
