I’ll be out on the swamp property this summer. I’ll be clearing a stand of poplars on the edge of the swamp and planting fruit trees and clover. I’ll also be expanding a plot that gets wiped out every year.

Those aspen will root sprout and give you fantastic browse for deer and grouse

You’re absolutely correct!

Holy cow! What happened to the price of lime in the last two years? Almost $7 for a 40 pound bag at lowes. (I will get 10% off for a bulk buy, then my veteran discount but still)

Was $4.28 in 2022 this time of year, at the same location, for the same exact bag. I have to buy bags and have no option for bulk delivery.  I was shocked when I checked the price today.

No. I buy from the dozens of forum members who make their own in Dutch ovens.

I know it's just 2/7, but with some sunshine the last few days my minds been looking forward to spring and all the work I want to do this spring and summer.

On my list so far:

• plant a row of evergreens for privacy
• plant some persimmons, oaks and chestnuts
• plant 2 more pears

 

What's on your list?

a lot of cabin fever weekends burning through the list already!
