Delicious!
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I put it in, but for this particular tree the roots started growing less than an inch below the graft (which needs to be above ground) and the roots are very shallow so... it needs to be staked.  Gonna go get some more stakes and wire today.

Trees: staked.  I also took the opportunity to prune my callery pears.  Probably the most unpleasant time of year to do that, too.  Excuse me while I go vomit. :x

:huh:
Callery pears are pollinated by flies, not bees.  So the blossoms give off an odor that is attractive to flies: the odor of rotting flesh.

So they don't produce fruit and their blossoms smell like rotting flesh, yet you purposely planted them in your yard.  :hmm:

They do produce fruit (though it's small and inedible), and I didn't plant them... the folks I bought the house from planted them.  I don't think I'll take them out, but when they die off I'll replace them with something native to the area, like some sort of pine or maybe magnolias.  Callery pear = another goddamn Chinese junk import.

I tilled a large area for the wife's garden. My archenemy, the rabbit, was watching me.

I just got done surveying my demesne.  My apple trees are both doing extremely well--the fuji in particular is growing like crazy.  Spectracide = EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE.

On a related note, all eleven of the sapling trees I got for free actually do seem to be alive after all, though it's harder to tell with the white pines.  The yellow poplars and pin oaks are growing like crazy.  I may be planting them this season.

The fuji is dead. :(  A month or two ago it somehow got girdled, all of its foliage dropped, and I'm quite sure it ain't coming back.

At first I thought it was our idiot landscaper and his string trimmer, but the same damage just started appearing on the granny smith.  I finally realized what it was..


I'M COMING FOR YOU, WASCALLY WABBITS. :mad:

I just got done wrapping the granny smith's trunk, which I'm hoping will keep the damn things away from it.  If not, then I guess it's time for a 20 gauge.

Rabbits are cute. Kentuckians not so much.

I warned you people about the rabbit menace. You people laughed it off.

I TOLD YOU SO.

How do rabbits kill a tree?  I have a dead tree in my yard, I don't know what killed it though.  All the grass around it died at the same time, so I'm thinking it a was fungus or something.  I have chosen to leave the tree in the yard as warning to the other trees.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
