No, in Virginia there's an annual property tax on cars

Very cool! I hope they're planting nuts, legumes, and herbs as well as fruit

Yeah like maybe programmers can relate with DBAs which can relate with System Admins but they're all pretty different

They can make money when the market goes down as well by buying Put options, selling Call options, and by shorting stocks. I suspect they're doing that because it's harder to make market go up

Of they're old enough to figure that out then who cares?

It gets compacted in the garbage truck and compacted some more at the landfill. I think the odds are slim it could be found in one piece

For my area the "last frost date" is usually listed as ~April 20th. However in 2024 it seems the last time it went below freezing was end of February.

 

For my fellow US Mid-Atlantic gardeners, what and when do you start prepping for the growing season?

For annuals I'm curious what you feel is worth growing from seed and when do you start it?

For perennials I'd like to know what if anything you do mid to late winter.

As for myself I plan to take some cuttings of elderberry and root them indoors. Hoping I can plant them by spring. In later February I plan to prune a peach tree and then attempt my first ever graft using the pruning.

I guess I should have said "Ad hominem" instead of "mud slinging", but the point is who cares what someone does in their off time while they're delivering a truth

Or 3: it's irrelevant mud slinging

I've been slowly learning things like this as I've been planting. Just trying to share the wisdom!

Another thing I learned is that you shouldn't prune stone fruit trees (peach, plum, etc) until late winter/early spring because it makes them susceptible to disease. I believe it's fine to prune pomme fruit trees (apple, pear) whenever though because they always have flowing sap (or something like that)

Very nice!

Is hard to tell from the picture but it's not buried too deep, is it? Even on young trees there's a root flare that should be on the soil line
