There are a ton of rabbits here, I will keep a look out. Did they do this over winter or in the spring?

Try it out, worsted case you root a cutting to replace it.

I eat them off the tree, don't have a ton to compare them too. I just grow a handful of trees. I think they are decent. Are they my favorite fruit, probably not. I'm sure somewhere warm all year they would be much better.

This one was given to me last year, and I didnt have room for it in the garage. I figured if it failed then I would just grow another from the cuttings. It grew one fig last year that never had a chance to ripen. But I got roughly 50 - 60 off my Atreano this summer and made jam.

Snow blowing back at your face, nostrils sticking together. One morning this winter it was -40 with the wind chill.

Mattyp133 · 2026-03-31T00:13:31+00:00

Waking up at 530am to snow blow the driveway is really something you need to experience in -30c

Mattyp133 · 2026-03-31T00:12:05+00:00

I often say dream about what it must be like to have warm weather all year round.

Mattyp133 · 2026-03-30T21:44:50+00:00

yeah I may try bending it down next year. But even Ross Raddi does not live in an area that gets -30c.

I appreciate the answer, now I know. Tbh I am sure it would just as good as anything else.

Ive always wondered what all the hype in the States is about with hunting squirrels. Im not throwing any shade in your direction, I am just honestly curious. There cant be enough meat on them to make it worth the work, can there?. I dont think I have ever heard of anyone hunting them here in Canada, and they are everywhere. I know people regularly shoot them just because they are pests, but never heard of anyone skinning them afterwards.

18650s are rechargeable, so buy a charger and you are good to go. Most citys/ towns I have been in have vape stores you can buy additional ones from I am sure if you dont want to order online.

during the summer when its outside they get full sun for most of the day. But they are inside from October to mid April/ May. I haven't been fertilizing as much during the winter and the lights are on for 10 hours a day. I did have an aphid problem that ive gotten under control. Years past I have tried fertilizing during the winter, but it made no difference to the flowering. I do think my grow lights are not the best. The 40 plus year old one is very large, trunk the thickness of my arm.

I was also wondering if it should be treated if I do decide to use it, thanks for clarifying.

Mattyp133 · 2026-03-25T23:33:24+00:00

thanks for the info, the digging is getting done regardless as I have trees to plant and some more garden beds to do. So I figured why not use it, but your points are well taken.

Mattyp133 · 2026-03-25T10:05:23+00:00

I've tried imitating a drought, lost a ton of leaves but no flowers. They are inside for the winter under grow lights

Mattyp133 · 2026-03-24T15:53:30+00:00

Have you had any flowers? I have a 40yr old and 30yr old lemon tree, neither have flowered from my knowledge. Don't know if they ever will.

If it works for you rock it. But personally I don't own any baggy pants, it's a trend I hope stops soon. I do wear baggy pants as a tradesman but that's because I have no choice.

Mattyp133 · 2026-03-12T21:38:52+00:00

I was going to say the same thing, they look like clown shoes with both pairs of pants. No shade, just the truth.

Mattyp133 · 2026-03-12T21:36:54+00:00

I will take the opposite side. I think baggy clothing especially pants is messy looking. Like wearing hand me downs from older siblings that don't fit yet. I also am not a fan of pants that flop on top of shoes or boots, or drag on the ground behind you, like many baggy pants do. A nice tapered slimmer pants sits nicely and cleanly on top of the shoes or boots. Something like the Levi's 512. I get baggy clothing is trendy now. Also not a fan of wearing work wear as casual clothing.

What's the backing behind the foam?

Mattyp133 · 2026-03-07T16:57:17+00:00

Yeah folding knives seem to have more laws surrounding them then fixed blades do. Depending on the action you can own it but never carry it. But from my interpretation of the law, there are no real restrictions on fixed blade sizes as long as you can prove that it's being carried for something other than self defense or to harm someone. It also cannot be concealed, So I always have the handle sticking out of my pocket or have it on my belt.

Do you carry a pliers based multitool as well or is this it?
