  1. Noticeable drop in daylight now. Winter is just around the corner.
  2. Yesterday sucked at home. Nada. And it's only rained ~0.25" over the last 10 days. Summer doldrums setting it.
  3. Upon closer inspection, this is what was found.
  4. I can't recall there being berries, since this is the 1st time I've seen it where I removed it. The leaves looked very similar to my Pear Tree so I though it was that and when I went to remove it, I was pricked by one of the thorns.
  5. My neighbor has red thread and he fertilizes the crap out of his lawn. So it's not for a lack of nitrogen.
  6. Not sure what I had at home, but I cut some small undergrowth that I thought was a birch but it had thorns along the truck and branches. It was a few feet tall. Wonder if this is what it was.
  7. I had a few Lupines for a year or two before they never came back.
  8. No red thread here. Up until today, I had only seen about 2/3” of rain since May 25th. Was getting pretty dry with all the Spring growth absorbing all the surface moisture.
  9. Finally had a window to drop my 2nd round of fertilizer/weed. Couple weeks behind when I’d like to but it is what it is.
  10. Pretty sure that’s a Dogwood. I have a Kousa one here and it has the same exact leaf. It’s blooming now with beautiful white blooms.
  11. I have a Betula jacquemontii (Himalayan Birch) that I planted at the same time I did the Maples. Great tree. Moderate growing. Is susceptible to the caterpillars so I gotta watch. It also loves to spring new growth at the base so to keep it as one trunk, I need to trim it every year. It’s about 15’ tall now, about double the size when I planted it.
  12. Counted 3 of these blooming with a couple more, behind my house. Love seeing these every year.
  13. Willows are awful for limbs falling and roots seeking out moisture sources. Not a good fit in residential areas imo
  14. I have a couple Red Sunset Maples I planted. They were 8-10’ when I did, they are around 20’ now with a large canopy. Caterpillars don’t seem to bother them.
  15. Allergies knocked me out today. Took a xyzal and fell asleep.
