CoastalWx Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I found MPM's barn on Google Earth. Just look for the dead grass due to lack of shading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Why don't they just use CNG in GC? It's cheap, plentiful, and clean (as fossil fuels go). Then what would we do with all the trees we cut down? I plant trees. LOL Every year maybe 6 or 8 more to try to get some kind of wind break going in these fields. The first batch are about seven feet high now. We plant a few each year, too. Especially fruit trees. My wife is looking to put in a couple of pines. Cutting/splitting/stacking is great upper body exercise. I'm not sure how much an 18" section of maple that measures anywhere from 10-24" across weighs. But, rolling/lifting them to the splitter is a great workout. Meanwhile, the time being spent outdoors on my own (albeit with headphones to block the chainsaw/splitter noise) is very therapeutic.

Logan11 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 FWIW .... pure northern boreal forest in those highlands 50-100 miles north of Quebec City. All those straight pointed spruce trees, interspersed with lakes. I did see a fair amount of yellowing of leaves in the birch and poplars in Quebec and far northern NH. When you get into the areas dominated more by maples it is only a little hint here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 So may trees here. If anyone wants some, they can have em. We keep making more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 They're actually increasing their annual temperatures, and reducing days of snowpack LOL--I'm ensuring my sensors are not influenced by shade. Still need to figure out how to get my anemometer up to legitimate height though. I found MPM's barn on Google Earth. Just look for the dead grass due to lack of shading. Ironically, most of my lawn areas have much more shade than sun. In fact, in some areas I use "dense shade mix" for my seeding Obviously, the pastures are full sun....but of course our lower temps keep those from burning out.

Logan11 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 There's such a thing as too much lawn and fields though. Take it from a person who mows 4 acres of lawn here and 1.5 acres down in HV at the rental cottage. I'll be very glad when these trees grow enough to render that area a "woods". Never mind the 25 acres of fields I bush hog, but it's pretty and probably increases the value of the land to have open fields. That job starts soon. ughh Ironically, most of my lawn areas have much more shade than sun.

I was not excited about that aspect of the clearing I did this spring. But, my desire to bring the ancient farmer's walls so long hidden in the woods won out.

Logan11 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Oh BTW... I was in the Happy Cafe ...about 10 miles below the border in northern NH yesterday and a guy who looks like 1970's Hell's Angel (now in his 60's) came in with the pistol in his holster. I guess that is the true GC of NH. LOL It is the "live free or die" state. you will never understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 It's an interesting border crossing. Complete deserted forest/lakes etc. in "live free or die" northern NH. If heading north you immediately descend about a one mile long hill and you are in farmland and total civilization in "je me souviens" QC. Dude, it's like the wild west up that way.

Wx4cast Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I don't get MPM's issues with his land. Is he some medieval Lord? Perhaps some serfs are need to tend the land.
