  1. It probably would've been any other winter, but yeah...97-98.
  2. I have some pygmy bamboo if you want a rhizome. lol That stuff makes an aggressive lush ground cover 6-8” high.
  3. Haven't really decided what I'll do yet. I was letting the websites decide my tire size and it was consistently 255/70R16, but when I went out there I didn't even realize I only had the 15" wheels . So the the 235/75R15 Michelins are only $140/tire versus the $127 Firestones. The 255s were $180 versus $139. So I'll probably go with the best winter all-weather highway tire and not worry about the $50 difference unless I decide the Firestones aren't much different form the Michelins. It's hard to make out much from online reviews.
  4. Hrm. Maybe you weren't watering long/deep enough then? Were they very root bound in the pot?
  5. I had Coopers before this and those were OK for me as well.
  6. So you like the Hankooks? I'm looking for something all-season and keep bouncing between the less expensive Firestone LE 2 and the pricier Michelin Defender LTX M/S. The truck is an 09 and pushing 180k so maybe the more expensive tire isn't even worth it.
  7. Anyone have any recommendations on tires for a small truck (Ranger)? The Wild Country ones I got a couple of years ago were a disappointment. I probably could’ve rotated the tires more than I did, but one is completely bald and another has been leaking air through the valve stem. I do a good amount of highway driving, but they only made it 2 years.
  8. I had a bunch of plants with yellowing leaves so I said F it and spread some fresh chicken poop around them. We green now. I'll just be saving the kale for the birds.
  9. They should just use X.5 in the F6 and CLI forms. I could understand sticking with sig figs and not wanting to create decimals or fractions when averaging 2 integers, but they contradict that line of thinking at the end of the month when determining the monthly average temperature. They sum the max and min integer temps, take an average, and then divide by the # of days and end up with precision down to the tenths place. If you're going to lie there, at least lie to me in the dailies for the F6 and CLI too. Then yesterday we could've had a mean of 68.5F with a normal of 69.5F and a -1F on the day to talk about on the news.
  10. I understand the rounding and that it doesn't affect the monthly data at the end of the month, but this kinda looks dumb. lol ...THE CONCORD NH CLIMATE SUMMARY FOR AUGUST 12 2019...

  12. Still sound like a fungal root rot to me, but hard to tell. Got pics? I doubt the layer of sand is much of an issue. Most shrubs gets down into the sandy layer anyway. I think intense sun can burn the leaves, but if the whole thing is wilting and dying back is sounds like overwatering to me. Have you fertilized them? Do you have them mulched with wood chips? That can keep them more consistently moist, but new chips can rob them of nutrients as they initially compost down.
  13. If I ever had a daughter my name of choice was Neve...that is until Lisa found out the meaning. Now it's nixed.
  14. It's like when you look out in the deep extended at H5 anomalies and weak trough signals show up as neutral or slightly AN heights.
  15. Should stay nice and juicy with those high dews.
  16. The problem is you even have people arguing over how to use please excuse my dear aunt sally.
  17. First I saw this. Congrats on the la nina.
  18. If it's due to injury and not fungal then you may need another treatment. A lot of trees heal over and recover. I know the tree company Gene uses has used a bark sealment around damaged areas of his horsechestnut tree.
  19. You can try some mud packs on the cankers. That’s what they do to keep american chestnut trees with blight alive. https://www.acf.org/ma-ri/the-project/mudpacking-cankers/ There’s more pics and vids of the process online. I’d assume you’d have a better success rate than that with chestnuts.
  20. Definitely looks a little weird during the dormant season without snowcover (April and Nov/Dec). And yeah, it’s not an overnight fix. I’d probably just overseed before the first snow. Come spring it’s ready to go once the glacier is gone. I’d stay away from planting zoysia via seed too.
