CoastalWx Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 White pines. I cut the big one down in my front yard. My neighbor has two of them. Lots of those on the s-shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Oddly, we have not had anything of the sort out here this year. I'm not sure about folks in the valley, but up here we seem to have been pollen-free. At least of the visible yellow type. Interesting. Yesterday afternoon I was looking at the pollen floating in all of the puddles in my driveway. Decent amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnno Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 yellow haze here last week, must have been the pines, looked like a yellow dust storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whineminster Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Well thanks for all the input guys, I went with some "ultra premium tall fescue" they had for the remainder of the lawn, curious to see how it comes out, plus a little pasture fertilizer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Heavy heavy dusting. Was thinking about getting the shovels out. lollies up to 1/4"? I think for the most part we've seen the end. I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Spotted a little pollen in the pool Wednesday--not too much though. That's pretty much been the only sign I've had of it so far this year. I'm really surprised/happy by how the new lawn by the pool is coming in. I'll need to do some patching due to very heavy rain the day after seeing that washed some seed away. The cool spring temps and lots of water have it growing like a weed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's one of the 200-year old maples that line my road. I had hoped it would last longer, but you can see it's really struggled putting out leaves this year. Perhaps a good storm will do it in or I'll just need to take it down. It might be the town's responsibility--I'll need to measure the distances to the road. Either way, it'll be sad to see it go. On the other hand, it'll give me a head start for the 2015-16 wood supply. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 We had a sh*tload of rock from putting in the pool. (mucho extra bucks due to the ledge, ftl!!). But, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Or, when pools give you rocks, make a stonewall. We still have more left for me to do something, but I managed to put in about 125' wall with a walkway and barway along the back line leading to my dogwalk path. Beats the antique post/barbed wire that had been back there. Meanwhile--chicken disaster. Something did a Hogan's Heroes tunnel under the chicken coop and did them all in (I'm guessing a mink or a fisher). No eggs for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Nice, Mike. You build the wall? Thanks, Scott. It was a huge pile. I worked with some hand-lifting. But most was done buy a guy who's done work for me. He came in with an excavator. Given the size of some of these, ,that was essential (I think the largest were about 3' in diameter (or however you'd measure a rock). It really makes me wonder who the farmers managed to do it back in the day. Meanwhile, my wife came into the family room last night holding the final pool bill. FTL! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killed two one day before I could even get outside to scare it away. Have a dozen at the moment. We have fishers around here as well. We went with a coop that's solid wood all the way around so stuff can't get in. No issues yet, only the hawk those times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying MXZ Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 The ridic pollen has finally made its way up here. Same out here. Stupid white pines. Goes nice with the mushrooms as well. It seems like thousands of little brown ones (I mow ~3 acres). I have a horrible mole problem this year. Usually they are around in the early spring then leave but they are hanging tough this year. What is the best way to get rid of them, traps? I don't have time to hunt them down with shovels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
