Lee Drennen’s Hobby Farm & Garden

Get them started inside, then plant the 'plugs' out next month (hopefully you'll then be clear of frost) no different from using a green house :thumb2:

Tonight I planted some zucchini squash and spinach inside. I never done this going to see if it works

Strange weather patterns that's for sure. Good luck with the indoor planting.

Rick. Your right these are not house plants. I’ve always started tomatoes and peppers in the house but not these

Gerry. I can’t wait to got this stuff in the ground outside but I think it’s going to be a bad year.

Steve. Yes it was very cold the other day here for mid April

Jim. I started this stuff in the house because of the strange weather at least I know there protected. I might get a few grow lights to help things along. Thanks for stopping by

Yesterday evening I cut up the Hickory tree and a dead oak tree when it stops raining today going to haul the up to my platform to go be split and stacked.

Hi Lee, too bad, I was hoping you would save out a piece good enough to turn out a Louisville Slugger!
That Hickory is some tuff stuff.....makes good axe handles and ball bats.:thumb2: Rick H.

[GerryW]

Sounds like you'll get a good warm from them - always liked burning oak, gave a longer burn than pine or other softwood

[Jim R]

What is it they say ....

Three times if you use a handsaw to cut it in the first place :thumb2:

Rick. It’s ok I’ve got plenty of Hickory trees to make you a Ball Bat. That Hickory is heavy may take awhile to season.

[Lee Drennen]

Gerry. You are right I have always burned Oak and I have no issues with my Flue. I’ll sell that Hickory

Jim. I enjoy cutting my own wood and burning it. Wood heat warms the soul.

I've just processed a whole Rowan tree (only pollarded it so i can still keep the witches at bay) with only a Bacho Laplander saw. Was the best investment i've made in a long time. Essential for wild camping for getting my firewood/cooking wood and sharp as a sharp thing. Took longer than if i'd used power saws but it kept me warm and physically active.

[AlanG]

Lee. If you like firewood and want a good read then i can highly recommend Norwegian wood - Lars Mytting

BTW. Hickory has a high KWH/sm3. At approx 3405KWH

[Lee Drennen]

Alan. Thanks for the info. I’ll check it out. And the PH in the Hickory I didn’t know that. It’s raining here and going to rain all day no outside work today.

[Lee Drennen]

It has rained most of the day the ground is saturated. So I worked on the divider in the little Barn till it stopped raining then I tore down what was left of my old goat pen and made a path where the new fence will go. I’m going to redo it and buy a couple Goats and have them there till I get the barn lot fenced in. After that I gathered the eggs and got a odd small shaped one this happens I’ll put this in a dozen and give to a friend of mine at church as a prank. That’s all for now next week I’ll get started on the fence after hauling wood.
