I have beech and maple. What the ash borer isn't killing the beech canker and some type of fungus is taking out my hard maple. Even the DEC foresters don't know what it is on the hard maple. One is a ground one,they are familiar with, that goes up the trunk under bark killing it. The other starts with what looks like Sun scale spots that eventually turn a gooey black and causes splits all over the bark. Like a canker but they said not. Environmental fools worried about spiking trees to stop logging and global warming to stop ....I'm not sure what they really think their stopping. Earths natural cycles? Get a real degree and fight what's going to and has started killing us all. Fungi, bacteria and viruses. If they were to do a comparison to logging in rain forests that gets plenty of press and the ash borer, oak blight, beech canker ,the chestnut blight pine beetles and gypsy moth,ect,ect,e t.... What would be the highest environmental killer?
Pumpkins are looking good. I don't plant mine until July that way they are ready off the vine at Halloween. I only have a few in garden this year for grandsons. Worms tore up my seed this year and I didn't bother replanting. They were hit with BT, again the other day. Eewww geez this is a loud storm...Ozone alone should have the garden growing great. Oh great pea size hail high winds...That should tear up the squash...jinxed myself again.
We haven't had very many rains here and it has gotten quite dry and dusty. The few rains we have had have been deluged. 2 to 4 inches in a relatively short time frame. Seems just enough to make the plots happy. I guess I can't complain. Sent from my SM-G981U using Tapatalk
We have had 4 rains since may 18th at my property, 2 were one inches, 1 was 3/4 and the other was 1/2..... add in around 20 sunny 90 degree days to that little rain. I am very surprised that my plots are doing as well as they are, just barely enough and everything is stressed out.
So I felt the last rain we had was too early to get my brassica in here in NW Iowa, wanted to be the beginning of August, but now no forecast rain for 2 weeks? Plant it anyways? Wait for rain?? Thoughts? Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk
I'm having the same problem here. I'm leaning toward waiting, but who knows. It's all for late season, but the timing matters for the most part. If I do another plot at my buddy's, we can water with his tanker, but behind the house depends on the weather. Prep it and hope for rain soon, then throw seed at it?

Ya I'm ready whenever, I'm seeding into standing loose planted soybeans anyway.... Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk
I have found as long as there is decent moisture, and enough on top to germinate brassica, they usually do well.
^^^ I'd plant anyway and hope for the best. If you succeed you're looking good. If not, you're right where you left off. Except for your cost and time. I've blown a lot more money on frivolous things and been left with nothing to show. Sent from my SM-G981U using Tapatalk
We got lucky and it’s been relatively dry lately after record breaking rains earlier this summer. I think I’m gonna be able to slam in 3-4 fall plots after all. Work on that begins next week. Pretty excited as all I’ve had to work on this summer is mowing my clover (which is thriving). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yesterday I got 1/5 th of the new plot limed. The area is 30x 10 yards. I also cut a few( bartered) that will help open up the area to more Sun. How the hell did this device get bartered out of the word trees????
Mowed my new sections of clover last week. They are REALLY grassy but I think that’s from using the tiller and unearthing all the dormant seed. Side note were now watching a buck with giant nuts. Can’t wait to try and pattern him this fall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
