Peak of 24 on my home weather station so far... we cranked into the 50s in the Feb wind event

Yeah.... the whole thing literally was wilted on the ground... leaves were almost like a blackish color. Weird

Sell on high high winds here... looks better west

Planted my small hydrangeas last week.... had a hard freeze last night and they completed wilted, are they dead, or will they rebound?

I’ll sell 65-70 here... maybe 50.. prob more like 40-45 though

Very cool. I just checked out their website.... a lot of smaller cabin designs for a potential vacation home as well. But still with a kitchen type setup and bathroom. I guess if you can build it yourself the actual home portion wouldn’t cost too much more than what they sell it for. Obviously you’d need land, septic, a well, plus plumbing and electric on top of that.

I thought he was talking about the design or plans on how to build it, I was confused. Yes obviously material to build a house costs more than $57

57$? I’m confused

Not going to get into specifics to blow up your spot, but Congratulations man. That is an absolutely beautiful house and property. Enjoy

A bit off topic, but I went camping at a place called Russell pond, just south of loon mountain. Quick google looks like it sits at about 2000 feet. I remember looking at the trees around the pond and they seemed darker the first 5-10 feet up the tree. I always wondered if that was due to snowpack or not. I’d imagine that particular location got a lot of snow. That was almost a decade ago now but I always though that would be an awesome place to live, I’ll ever forget it. Just felt like an area that would produce prolific snow amounts

Beds edged... planted my hydrangeas and forsythia.... now we await the mulch

Just out of curiosity, what is the return rate for a system like that down here? If ever? Can’t be often

Yup... big money to maintain too. Plowing, and if it’s gravel, grading filling etc etc

SE Mass special on April 17th? Lock it up.

Yeah I think that was issue last spring.... it got hot pretty fast and just kind of burnt out. All my neighbors are on wells and they all have irrigation and run it daily, so I’m less concerned about running the well dry. I’m the only house on the street without irrigation, so keeping it wet is going to be the challenge

Is it too early to throw some seed down?

Edging the beds tomorrow and going to order some mulch this week.

When can hydrangeas be planted? Ordered some through a Nursery and they Are in really good shape, just obviously small having them shipped. Do I plant them now or wait?

No money so I just fertilized the entire lawn with the leftover starter fert from last year

Also, anyone looking for bonafide “spring” type weather over the the next few weeks is going to be very, very disappointed. Looks like typical early New England spring mank garbage

We wrong. Every other model is laughably far south it’s hard to even envision a scenario where that solution would verify

I head ya... what you see is kind of what you get in my yard currently. The plan was to re do the back yard with loam and new seed but that’s obviously on the back burner until further notice now. It’s green and doesn’t look horrible so it is what it is. I literally ordered hundreds of bulbs that flower between late spring and fall to plant in our bed that is bare. Can’t afford to do what is really like to do which is line it with some nice bushes.

I have a bed that goes along the side of my house that I made deep into the fall... arborvitae didn’t make it, so I ordered a bunch of bulbs and am just going to plant all kinds of bulbs and stuff over there that flower at different times. 100s of bulbs

It’s pretty green here locally.... cut down some trees today and there were buds and small leaves coming out on a lot of them... grass is also pretty green. Pulled out the few arborvitae I planted early last fall as they were picked clean by deer. My neighbor had them lining his entire garage and they look like lollipops. Completely eaten as far as the deer can reach up.

At this point, probably
