dendrite

You forgot to include the preceding DJF too.

Looks like it was impeached.

You could mulch widely and deeply around the oak and landscape it like you did the other tree in the background. Deep wood chips or mulch will conserve moisture within the crown perimeter of the tree. Maybe that'll keep the tree a little happier with fewer roots seeking out moisture. Southern exposed slopes are tough. Your pic looks like it's very sandy in spots...not exactly the look of very organic material. What if you planted some smaller trees around the edge of your driveway/lawn? Something like a few thornless sunburst honeylocusts that will give some shade to that area to conserve surface moisture.

I lied. They were 7/24 and 7/25.

I had back to back hail storms with that in Auburn, NH.

What a pants tent.

The great high pressure of Feb 1981.

I think I’d relax on the pesticides but that’s just me. I find it hard to believe they wiped out every bit of greenery like that.

Citra Jr. Comet VF1181 An early version of the “C” type citrusy hop. A vigorous American heirloom variety. It is an all-purpose hop used for bittering or as late additions to bring out the strong citrusy flavors. Result of a cross of English “Sunshine” X wild Utah male around 1962- (10 years prior to Cascade). A potent high-oils hop with “raspy” or “wild” bitterness; similar to Brewers Gold. 24-40”sidearms. Substitute: Citra, Summit. Emerges in spring bright yellow and leaves green up somewhat as the bines mature. Currently being described a Citra’s “little sister” by a major western hop supplier. Think I'm leaning Chinook, Comet, Triple Perle, Newport Putting the ASOS right in the middle of the mulched hops bed.

I've been doing my research on disease resistant varieties. Chinook is one that frequently comes up and it's the only one GLH has listed as being somewhat forgiving with poor drainage. Generally all hops varieties stress moist soil, but very good drainage as wet feet will kill the plants. Triple Perle and Newport were the other 2 I had ranked up there for ease of growing. It so wet here and I'm prone to mildew diseases so I want to give them the best chance possible. There's a nice list here of different hops varieties. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B7aNkuU_q8iEREdBMkxWcFI2THM

lol...any suggestions on ones I can legally obtain? Anything from GLH you’d recommend? I’m thinking 3 or 4. https://www.greatlakeshops.com/

It's amazing how you were able to kill all of the crabgrass too. lol I still like the compost idea Bob had. Keep upping the fertility.

My post was tongue-in-cheek anyway.

Josh's career peaked back when he was regularly posting here, but he's still making a pretty decent living for himself.

I’m going to try growing some directly by seed in the backyard. I tried some small potted plants that were grown in large tree pots, but even those didn’t transplant well. I feel like anything with a huge taproot needs to be directly planted. The extra ones I’ll probably try planting out in the woods and see how many can grow with out getting dug up by rodents.

Check my edited post with link. Bark is a match too. Btw I still owe you shipping costs...haven’t forgotten.

I’m leaning black cherry. https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/prunus-serotina/

Nice before and after vid here.

But should u fertilize dead and/or dormant grass? I dropped one round in April and one in June. I have two more bags, bit stopped cause the lawn looked terrible and figured it would do nothing or stress it more No. I would probably do what Bob recommended. You could probably just broadcast it in after aerating. Weeeee

Okay...update on that plant I can’t figure out. Apparently one of the large trees out front is actually the parent tree to the others. It has berries that look like buckthorn, but I really don’t think that’s what it is. None of the smaller trees of it have berries. The large tree does have them higher up. All of the glossy buckthorn I have grows insane and puts out berries in the first year or two when they’re only a few feet high. The leaves look different too. I thought hackberry, but the leaves aren’t really a match. Does buckthorn grow as tall as the large tree in the picture is? Unknown tree a bit to the right of the large clump red oak. Bark of said tree in foregrund If you look closely you’ll see some of the branches from the tree with berries hanging off of them Comparison of leaves from a known glossy buckthorn and a branch from a smaller tree of the same species. Pics of common buckthorn look different from the leaves on the right as well.
