Speaking of pine trees, the crew came in this week to get the straw. They have it all raked and bailed, and have loaded 3 semi trailers so far. Most years they get 7-8 trailer loads off it. I'll try to remember and get some pictures before work tomorrow.

damn you have nice soil, at least for digging in, our soil is red clay thats more rocks than dirt. a hole that size would take me hours to dig, if i could find a spot that doesn't have boulders in it. thats why i'm very fond of raised beds and container gardening

I'm hoping Florida gets caught up with the rest of the country before my back gets too bad to grow gorilla. I do have a UTV now to help with the initial dirt moving, but I still have to hump water.

My CP1 and Slo2 were 11-12 feet with me topping and tying them down. If I started them early and put them in big holes, I bet they would hit 20 foot easy.

I haven't had a really good one yet, but my Blue Shiva X Blue Shark, and Blueberry X Shark Shock are both tall skinny strains. Would like to grow them out in the open to see what they would do.

But after lunch it was raining, so I laid down on the couch for a minute. 3 1/2 hours later when I woke up, it was almost dark. No lemon or oranges planted. No tomato seeds planted. Now I have to wait until the next good above ground day.

we've had 40 days and 40 nights of rain but the sun is shining again. the first row of onions i planted are really starting to take off.

still waiting on potatoes and corn to sprout.

peppers on 3rd set of leaves.

strawberry plant just might produce a ripe berry before it goes outside...

Oak tree seedlings are up and growing fast. I will have to get these in pots soon. The roots will fill this tray in a couple of weeks.

Neighbor came over the other day and gave me a dozen purple onions. Have them growing in cups till I start on the garden next month. The Mortgage Lifter tomatoes are comming up nicely. Bell Peppers are almost big enough to go in the ground. They came up fast this year.

Very nice. I have a few I grew from seeds. The old small fruited trees that are all over the south. I noticed they are leafing out. I have to get them in the ground. I have planted most of them near my shooting house or around the pond.
