If you have never hunted mole before - Go out today and look for the longish straight tunnels. Push down a spot in the tunnels with your heel and mark the 'dent' with something (stick, plastic fork, etc.) If the tunnel is pushed back up in those spots tomorrow, it's an active tunnel. If your...

It is rather pretty, it made me think about your use of interesting foliage, and my usual lack of. This photo was taken today, my neglected annual bed. I have not cleaned up this sorrel this year, but you can see the possibilities of a more ambitious gardening year. :D

Happy Birthday @AMKuska ! Take some time to relax and enjoy!

I had good luck with the castor oil years ago also, but it got expensive for such a large area. They would move to a different area if I didn't cover enough. Moles don't usually eat roots, but they may uproot new plantings, or voles and mice that use the moles tunnels will eat roots and some...

Lily Paradise! Absolutely beautiful @catjac1975 ! I hope business has been hopping for you this year!

Had I been better about harvesting the comfrey, or better yet, planting the sterile type, I would be cheering it on instead of regretting. If you don't mind using a herbicide to control areas you don't want it, it may not be such an issue. But, let one take hold in the rhubarb or in your...

I have to say, your story brought back memories of my son when he was about age 3. At a family gathering, Scott came dancing into the room, strumming Grandpa's antique ukulele, wearing a grass skirt, and singing Kokomo. :lol: Born with a different talent I guess. :D He did eventually get...

Several years ago I was gifted a red-veined sorrel plant, apparently sold as an ornamental. I believe it was labeled Bloody Sorrel. I thought it was very unique, and later learned it was edible. Like some other greens, it gets bitter and tough quickly, so it remained in the ornamental border...

Good for you, @AMKuska , and GRAND for him! Learning music is so great for developing concentration skills, especially at such a young age. His great passion will get him over the hurdles easily. I hope his interest just continues to grow and you can find people in your area to help him. True...

:ep You really need to hire a 4 year old! DH's van was like that, maybe worse. The only time it got cleaned out was when someone asked to borrow it. Took half a day to clean it out!

Looks like tractor supply trailer max speed is 60 - http://www.tractorsupply.com/ProdContentPDFs/1000231_Man1.pdf Patience, hopefully a good deal on a good trailer will pop up.

In MN and maybe most states (?) trailers over 3000# must have trailer brakes, so that will limit your heavy hauling a bit. @seedcorn, MN speed law for towing trailer is posted limit. Some trailer tires have max speed limits. My enclosed trailer is 65 mph. AAA says -...

You have my sympathy also, @Christina E. I also will be starting to thin the herd, by 'permanent relocation' .;) Although they quickly multiply again! The only way I keep them out of the apples is to throw a pan of sun flower seed out into the grass every morning. It keeps them busy foraging...

Sell it for $300. and upgrade? OR maybe their dogs need grooming. :D

Congrats @bobm ! And congrats to your son and his wife! If you are like my Dh you will forget that 'thinner' comment before Christmas. ;) You are passing me up, and according to my DIL, we will not be catching up with you. But I'm lov'n our precious 6! @ninnymary , I delivered my first on...

Agree with @seedcorn . Shell out extra $$ for a heavy duty utility trailer and no worries getting home. Unless you have your heart set on vintage and dump, there are a couple utility trailers on CL I would consider.... http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/grd/5097525195.html...

Oh Brrr! I have been dreaming of cooler temps, but wow, not that much! After many nasty humid days near 90° we are getting a break. 2" of rain yesterday, 65°and windy feels SO good this morning!

Nice looking melons @digitS' ! I am seriously trying cantaloupe again this year. I grew them years ago, not a great crop, but I always got a few. Several disappointing years put them on hold for a while. Dh was not impressed with the MN midgets last year, so bigger it is! Maybe. I'm hoping...

OK, just read bob's post ... maybe we can take up a collection and THEN bob will update us. :lol:
