The botanical name for Swiss chard is Beta vulgaris subsp. cicla. It is a member of the Chenopodiaceae family. From taking botany classes, I remembered that Lambs quarter is also a member of the Chenopodiaceae family and the American Indians used to gather Lambs quarter seeds to eat. The leaves...
Just throwing this out there., not sure how practical or useful it might be.
I've been cleaning dropped apples out of the farmyard orchard to feed to the pigs, chickens, cows and horses. I'm hoping to clean up to minimize overwintering of pests (coddling moths). I've been seeing lots of...
"Scarification is necessary for many native plants and wildflowers, and it can also help seeds germinate faster. In nature, seeds can be scarified when they pass through an animal's digestive tract."
If you are asking me, Johnson County. I see19 reported and I submitted 4. I went back and walked the lane yesterday and found a young dead deer, still intact so pretty sure it was EHD as scavengers leave them alone for the most part. Trail cams showed some deer, but not near the numbers...

Visit the neighbor and discuss your situation. I’m sure you’ll hear that “dogs is dogs”. Mention you hope not to catch their dogs in your coyote sets. Actually run traps, 1.5 double coil jumps which should hold them but not do as much damage as number 2’s. The few dogs I caught by mistake were...
