And oh yeah, we pawpaw...
And the american chestnut tree out in the back woods of my yard is leafing out. If you click and zoom you can see how much skinnier the leaves are compared to the beech tree on the left in the 2nd picture. It’s getting to be that size where the blight should start becoming a problem. The tree is developing some slight furrows near the bottom.
Gonna try the hortimulch from dirt doctors, in CON, on top of my garden beds this year. It’s a blend of aged spruce, fir, and hemlock mulch mixed with compost. After seeing how it looks I may spread it around the shrubs too. Good stuff.
CAR is on pace for their 2nd coldest May low max on record. This would also be the coldest high temp there for so late in the season. As for the snow..
Love me some observing differences...

I still don't understand the snow = fert concept. My lawn was pretty green yesterday.
Even the majority of the rain that falls this time of year starts in the clouds as snow. If it's a nitrogen thing, it shouldn't matter if the condensation nuclei reach the ground as snow or as rain.
