Nice Looking linden..... however it doesn't look like you dug out a hole 3-5 times the size of the rootball. I guess you can get away with that in PA. Try that here and you will be buying a new tree next year.

No i didn't but it will be fine the soil it really good around here crumbles in your hand.

Grinded some stumps this morning then took the rest of the day off to do some landscaping around the house. Planted a sweet little leaf linden in the front yard.

Nice sized tree. I planted a bunch of shrubs and a cool Purple Smoke Tree in my yard last weekend we got from a customer back in early March. Had to use a digging bar it's been so dry the last few weeks here. Finally rained a little yesterday.

Yeah it's hard not to grab a couple plants every time I go to the nursery. Half my acre is wooded and the other half is filling up fast. Almost hate to add more cause I know I'll be getting a bigger place one day farther out so I can plant whatever I want. I'll be taking some of these plants with me when I do that's for sure.

I grew up in upstate NY. We had soil like that..... I miss it. The soil is #### here. Plenty of sunlight though!

That maple looks like fun Dan!!

yeah i love the west, been out to winter park and breck a few times boarding but I think I would miss the green of the east if i lived out there. Lots of my friends have moved west and I can"t figure it out, i'm thinking it cause of all those medical marijuanna laws they have:cool2:

Let me tell you something about that medical marijuana: its to strong. Doesn't anybody have any schwag anymore?

I planted 10 rootstock trees last night.

2 live oak
2.euro beech
2.smoke tree
2.scotts pine
2.kw cherry
2.red maple
2.forsythia

Allright my math is a little off... I'm jess looking fer some schwag:msp_confused:


I am about to go sand a flitch cut board then stain it. Was late getting Sarah to school, we had problems with the pigtails, had to get a late slip then walk her to class. I got stomped when i went in there. The hefty teacher stepped on my foot and tried to rip my croc off with her domination spikes.
I am going back to the school for an awards ceremony at 12:45 then i will get on a job. Got some fun for this after.

I was watching American weed on natgeo the other night it was in Lyons Colorado, let me tell you that dbag that worked at the dispensary was a little fried he couldn't even complete a sentence. As for that city swag TMD becareful I heard the dealers are lacing it with embalming fluid there was a story on the local news about it the other day.

Ash I did today;

Some hard ass wood. I can see why that is what they have always made Louisville Sluggers with. I cleared the roofs on both houses, then tip tied the leaders and lowered them butt first in between the houses.

My 260 next to my firewood guy's 026. He got that saw, a 360 and an 028 for $500...

The difference between the 026 and 260 is like night and day side by side... The 026 feels light as a feather in comparison. I miss the old 0 model saws...

Just got in from rocking a elm removal. Some days, seems nothing is clicking, most days, are just days, then you have days like today, when everything goes perfect or better............................... love those days! Hate the others. :rock:

Anybody cut the converter off their bucket truck, if so..........better?

Not that I know of. A buddy of mine works for asplundh and some one cut the converters off of ten bucket trucks and stole the batteries.
