Depends if it's classified as a dangerous knife under New York or local knife laws.

Yes the Pioneer took it's place.

I sold quite a few Huntsman in the day. Never keep one for myself.

Ours blackberries have suffered though the drought. Still impressed with them.

Blueberries like light, low ph soils. Could be buying diseased plants.

No more normal, just extremes.

Glad to see your getting moisture. We have a batch moving out of Canada; should hit us in an hour or so. Looks like some heavy rain in it.

In the above thread post, I said we could use 7 inches through the month of August. They say to be careful what you wish for, LOL.

Believe it or not, it was to muddy to plant my second plot today. The stand on the first planting is beyond my expectations. Happier than a frogs hair in February, LOL. We have had slightly over three inches of rainfall since July 22 to this morning. Looks like maybe more tomorrow with a 70% chance.

First plot is starting to fill in. Second area was to muddy, maybe plant tomorrow. The rain this morning sure uncovered some work I need to do before seeding. The wooded area shows my favorite spot to sit. I willing to share my spot with others, but know one will sit there., LOL

We use an old 28" tractor rim. Going to start having camp fires since the threat of field fires has lessen. Been using an old enclosed maple evaporator earlier in the summer.

Something that's not discussed here much. We have quite a few wild ones, both red and black. They play a vital role in nature. Birds and insects both feeding on them and using them for cover. There are quite a few for a dry year, we had here. Don't mind if I do, LOL. I had a Monarch butterfly flying around me, as if it was scolding me for taking the goodness.

Are you doing any better in the moisture department? Things are looking much better. Second cutting hay is growing nicely. Garden doubling in growth size. Rain is working the summer fallow wheat ground. Going to try to sneak in some more deer feed today between the rain drops. We're looking a lot better than we did in June - July. Hope you get some well deserved moisture.

Firearms, and bow. Something a hate doing but, fawns in a haybine. I ran a doe in a corn head of a combine at night once. She never came in contact with the snapping rolls or gathering chains, jumped off the sheet medal and back into the field.

I think your timing will be perfect. With the moisture in the ground right now, they ought to be right up. I will sneak another area in this week. My first planting, radishes are up and the oats are showing, Good moisture in the ground but, we still have a ways to go.

I look for something a bit more portable.

I like it ! P.M. sent.

At least you're still young enough where they still ask for ID.. They stopped asking me years ago, LOL.

It's New York your talking about here. I'm sure lifetime license are the last thing on the agenda.

I call these: 1) Me and the Kids; 2) Peak a boo. 3) Mind if I cut in. 4) Who says we can't share.

Red and white oak trees have been dropping immature nuts here since 4th of July. Most likely because of the droughts conditions we have been experiencing. Not many, that I see left on the trees. The shag bark hickories have been dropping for 2 weeks and what's there look fully mature.Maybe enough to feed the squirrels. Beech trees never have many. Walnuts did well, as they seem to do every year. Not many wild apples.This should be the on year for them too. Good weather when they were in blossom, but didn't set fruit. One Quince apple tree has a few.

Just finishing up the oat hay Friday, when it turned dark to the west. Got a quick, well deserved inch out of it before the sun came back out. Funny storm; strange movement on these storms this summer. Clouds moving due north with the whole system sliding east. We'll this should help us out with new regrowth in the hay fields and and plantings now in soils or future. Looking greener already. Deer have already food the new protein source

Well, when it rains it pours. Gully washer this afternoon. Got a quick inch in about fifteen minutes. Plot will be right up now. I am happier than a frogs hair, LOL.

We got an inch and one half two weeks ago Sunday and a ground wetting the following Wednesday; that is it. Weather Service says our county hasn't been this dry in decades. Even with dark clouds over head, nothing in them. I'm looking into a water truck, to pull water out of the canal and spray on the plots. It's getting that serious.
