How'd it go today?

[bill22]

He said big removals. Ones that take 3/4 of a day to get the limb wood off of!!

Haven't had one of those since December, maybe I need to slow down. I did some yard work and landscaping around my yard,killed a water moccasin that found his way into the yard.Back to deforesting central Florida tomorrow,winter springs to be exact.

 

[SkwerI]

I flopped two small dead oaks at an office building, spent a few hours chasing hangers at a condo property, then killed a 36" laurel oak over a house this afternoon. I got home at 5:30, two and a half hours late.

 

[bill22]

Hey Brian,dan gave me the wrong number,would it be feasible for me to meet you at the advance I saw you at sunday and drop the 372 off?If so what time?

 

[SkwerI]

Any time is fine, I'm not far away from there.

 

[bill22]

Cool, I appreciate the help,I'll probably shoot over there around 12 .30 or so,I'll be in a white s-10 blazer.

That's amazing fast delivery, Steve. I just sent it yesterday!

 

[bill22]

Dang,if delivery is that fast,I'm gonna have my brother just stick me in a crate the next time I wanna travel.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Dang fast Ger. I was surprised myself. Katy is a glow looking forward to trying it out. I figure she'll play with it out back to figure it out prior to a road trip up to Yosemite or something. We have a year round pass so I am sure she will be getting out with it soon as school slows down a bit for her. She'll usually go up to see the dog wood and wild flowers bloom.

after hail this morning the sun showed up inthe afternoon, I took a couple photos out back when I got home. Spring is trying, thats for sure, none too soon for me.

 

[bill22]

Nice pics Paul, is that your yard?

 

[Paul B]

Bill, I am a ground floor condo dweller, my space is about 35 feet long along the building and about 15 feet out from it including our patio area. Technically anything outside the door is common ground but there are hedges and such that most residents take care of within, the lawns etc are outside of the hedges and the landscrapers take care of that. Here is a few pics from last summer to give you a better idea.

 

[bill22]

Still looks good man.

 

[sotc]

You pot planter!

 

[Paul B]

lol! I know, right? if its in a pot, the strata cant touch it! I did learn a bit alst year, I realised a few things wont do well in the yard and arent worth the effort, celery for one. hard to keep it watered enough and it was bitter as heck. More spuds this year too, 12 pots instead of 8. How is your garden shaping up Willie?

 

[sotc]

Haven't done much. Some of the rasberries are leafing out, some not. Some of the larger blue berries are fixing to flower, some not. Dumped a load of oak chips at the yard, going to let them mulch up a few weeks and top dress the blue berries. Still not dialed in on the center sections yet.

 

[Paul B]

Cool. Do you find oak chips allelopathic at all? We dont use western red cedar mulch much up here for that reason. If anything we use hemlock with fir blend aka hem-fir.

 

[sotc]

Not really, I have a nice little list around here somewhere that breaks down several plants that seem to have allelopathic tendancies towards certain other species

 

[canadiantreeman]

Anything wrong with London plane chips? I got to finish up my last bed, and then finally put the step on my deck. Only then will I post up some pics...the place ain't too hot as of now.

 

[sotc]

I wake up to see my beds covered in some kinda cold, white mulch! In April!

 

[SouthSoundTree]

Is that the new fancy blown-in mulch?

Where can I buy this white mulch in Florida?

 

[Cobleskill]

You can only find it in the middle of winter. Usually accompanied with a whole lot of whining.

 

[Al Smith]

That white stuff goes away then you have to deal with mud for the next month -6 weeks until it's fit to do anything .

Thats the stuff judging by the symptoms!

 

[squisher]

Got my guy out grinding stumps all day today. Oh man I'm loving no more stumps for me. Although I'm going to be tied to this damn computer all day catching up books. Boring.
