I was involved in a discussion about animal control issues a while ago, particularly about stray dogs. There was a lot of talk about the problem and a lot of talk about possible solutions, and one person said "The thing is, if we were the kind of society/culture that had the ability to solve...
Many people confuse Choke Cherry (Prunus Virginiana) with Black Cherry (Prunus serotina), since they look very much alike when the trees are smaller.
If it's on mostly open ground or a grown-up old field and has many trunks it's probably a Choke Cherry.

I was wondering what fertilizer is best for small seedling tomato and pepper plants. Last year I used miracle grow in water and I think I didn't dilute it enough and/or just used too much. When they started to show signs of yellowing, I watered them heavy with water, then re-potted them. Most...
We lived in a rented farmhouse for a few years when my kids were little. Landlord said the house was built just after turn of the century. After a bad storm, the 70 year-old steel roof failed when the fasteners broke from the peeled pole rafters. The steel roof was still intact, it was just...
The glove thing always got me. The way I understood it, the glove was out at least over one night, maybe more, and it looked like it was wet from dew, then it dried out. That's going to shrink up a glove. Then, add to that the fact that OJ had to put a grippy latex glove first before trying...

I agree, and I think if it were possible to survey every voter in America about exactly how they feel about abortion, there would be more uniformity than the politicos would want to see. And the politico's discomfort about that is because that uniformity throws a monkey wrench into their...
If you mow your lawn, you almost certainly kill dozens of seedling trees each spring and summer. I get mostly Silver Maples, but always some Pin Oaks too. I have one decent-sized Silver Maple and several smaller Pin Oaks that I saved from the mower to allow them to grow in my yard. Although...
Several years ago, my son and I were at the Indy 1500. I picked up some medical prep supplies for my SHTF kit, including an old pair of tooth-pulling pilers (because you never know).
My son said "You know what that means?" I said "No, what?" He said "If the SHTF, you're a dentist."
