When I bought my three acre lot ten years ago it was covered with tallow tree saplings, all 1" or less in diameter. After a three or four years of mowing the lot on a semi-regular basis all of the...

Some folks buy sweet potatoes by the truckload in the fall to put out near their stands for deer season. I have never tried it so I don't know from personal experience, but from what others say it...

This is my first year in my new house at my new location so I have a very small garden. I have three roma and three big boy tomatoes and 12 jalepeno and 12 sweet bell peppers. I have been eating...

Actually, now that I think about it, I have seen mockingbirds chase crows, too. Mockybirds don't take much guff off of any bird, do they?

There you have it!

Good story with a happy ending! /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

I would like to see a bird aggessive enough to chase a crow away! /forums/images/icons/shocked.gif

I kinda figure it was a wanderer. To me it was way to shy to be an escapee, but who knows. I wish it would have stayed. It sure added an extra dash of color and sound to my backyard.

Now that's a nice patch of dewberries. I have blackberries growing on the back of my property. When they ripen I hope I can pick enough to make just one cobbler. Mmm!

Hey Bob,

I'll trade you some of my aphids for some of your ladybugs! I find a few ladybugs here and there on my plants but gazillions of aphids!

Seriously, I am glad I am not plagued with an...

I had a similar experience at "Close" about a month ago. The kits were mismatched and in disarray on the shelves. However, the clerk was diligent and managed to get the right parts matched together...

Sorry I can't give a better description. It was bigger than a parakeet, about the size of the grackles at my feeder, green and had a beak like a parrot... and it squawked really loud! It was very...

This past Sunday I got out of my car after a day at work and an unidentifiable bird noise caught my attention. As I looked for the source of the unusual bird song I saw a bird fly away from my bird...

That does sound like a good idea... if I had a chipper. Right now I have a huge pile of topsoil/ mortar sand/ dirt yard sand/ clay/pond dirt that I am mixing it into with my tractor. Eventually I...

Thanks for the info, Buckeye. I still have a big ol' pile of it which has been breaking down for the past six months. I think I will mix it in w/ my compost and topsoil piles and use it in my future...

Those grew everywhere when I was a kid. I never knew what they were but I knew exactly what to do with them. Break a whole limb off below the last clump of berries, grasp the base of the limb, pick...

Vin,

40 C is hotter than normal for this part of the country. Average summer temps are usually between 34-36 C, which is 94-98 F. Seems the weather man said we have had some record high temps the...

It's about 40c here on the Texas Gulf Coast. I sure wouldn't mind trading temperatures with you, Vin! I have had enough summer already! /forums/images/icons/mad.gif

All nectar for feeders that I have ever seen is red. How does food coloring hurt hummingbirds?

Looks like a perfect fit for the Bobcat, Dave.

The paint job certainly makes the container a lot easier on the eyes.
