Monster crappie there!! Snagged some nice bluegills last week here Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Crazy!! I've got some sawtooth acorns I put in rootmakers cells last week - late to the game but hoping to get them in the ground this fall yet.

Awesome pics, we have been doing more fishing lately as well. Helps when the boy is getting to the age he can enjoy it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm 0-2 so far, not counting the one dried up gray my wife found. It's been probably 4 years since we've found enough to even bother cooking up. Used to find tons of them each spring

Gonna have pears this year on this one again! The other two varieties, wish I could recall what they were, aren’t going to put blossoms on this year again... weird? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Most winters are pretty mild - def will get ice on the pond but not always over 12". We've got all the regular farm equipment. I'm starting to lean towards a floating dock, even making one myself (go figure. lol) just because you can move the dock around if you want. I'd def want a hand rail...

My parents put a small 2 acre pond on their place a few years ago, never stocked it other than one five gallon bucket with 2 doz small crappie and bluegills ~7 yrs ago. Fished it for the first time yesterday and caught a small bullhead and bluegill, our boy had a blast. Looking to get some...

Blossoms are coming back a bit. Some are fried on this pear Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Blossoms may be ok... maybe... The unprotected crab apple and pear don’t look so hot Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Covered our peach trees, here’s to hoping the blossoms didn’t die! Tried to half cover the Keifer pear, didn’t bother with the crab apples since the pink crisp and honey crisp weren’t blossomed yet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Always a problem - gotta check em as often during the years as possible. Ideally a guy would be able to check them at least monthly... what I've done is check em maybe once a year unfortunately. I've loss a few trees to mice but what do you do. Funny side stories - often I'll find tubes...

I do not normally, when I snapped the above pics I was in the process of removing the original single post and putting two post and support rope on each tree. I normally don’t do this but with the ones in my yard I baby more. I get a lot of wind in my yard and the big canopy on these trees was...

If I were to use conduit I’d consider putting the conduit inside the tube, that takes the stress off the zip tie or tube itself for when the tree gets bigger. Always seems zip ties are breaking or being torn away from tubes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Def want to find used Tpost for $1-2. New are expensive! Here’s some 8yr old red oaks, pulled the post probably 3-4 years ago. They’re starting to split the bottom of the miracle tubes open! Here’s a three year old sugar maple, these ones have gotten much more attention beings they’re in...

I prefer T-post but only pound them into the ground as far as the T, don't put the T below the dirt so a root can't grow over it. I haven't had any issues, pulled probably 100 T-post off trees that were large enough to support themselves, none died so far! I prefer a T-post over a round...

Oh man, IA would get blown away by other states if other states had IA's regulations! I personally think MO would go crazy. Never been to IL but it used to be a all the talk growing up but that's not the case much any more.

That sucks for those in MN Seems like other states keep ruining their hunting which pushes more people to IA. Demand here goes up and we're getting closer and closer to joining those other states each year. The last good state left and it's going to be a battle to keep it this way.

Pruned a dozen apple trees this weekend, they’re going on their 4th growing season this summer, got them as little 3-4’ whips and man they grow fast! I had only pruned them once before and they were due. Was getting tough to treat them for bugs and also quite a big sail up there for wind to...

This is what people want - easy access to emails for all these people, good work!

Nice! I use the $0.99 cent single coat hooks, come in a few diff colors. Work well!
