    NFR Any Guesses What These Mean?

    Yeah, I thought maybe someone on here might work in this field. We have a large diverse group of people. It just seemed to be in an odd place being just outside of my property line in a dead end alley.

    NFR Any Guesses What These Mean?

    Found these in my back alley in front of my truck. Not sure which neighbor, but assume it’s utility markings? No flags I can see. Just wondering if anyone know the meaning.

    Has anyone grown sweet potato slips? When did you start them in the year for planting in Seattle? I read and watched some Youtube videos but unsure how long the slips take before planting in the ground. I know they are tropical and like the heat. I have not seen slips sold either and are...

    Planted about 150 garlic on Monday and this morning I found about a dozen dirt piles where something dug around. I saw a squirrel running across the bed. Not sure he ate or just buried something. The lil shits made a mess. Gonna put some wire mesh over them till they sprout. Never had that issue...

    So I planted a bed of gladiolus this year and now almost all have bloomed. I read you should cut back the leaves, but when? Do you have to dig up the corms or can you just leave in the ground over winter on the west side of WA? I was thinking of putting down some straw for mulch/insulation. I...

    A thread about minor boat trailer upgrades.

    Of course I don’t know the size and weight of your boat, maybe build a cheap dolly cart out of wood. I put wheels on mine when I worked on my trailer so I could move it to reload on the trailer. Or borrow a friends trailer .

    I am growing 10 different tomato plants and it appears only the Cur Di Bue is getting blossom end rot. Anyone else getting it on their Cur DI Bue only. Is it just more susceptible? I water and fertilize the same way and time. They are in the same soil bed. thanks for any input. I hope I can...

    A thread about minor boat trailer upgrades.

    Since Sept of last year when I bought my first used trailer, I replaced the following so I could get it licensed. Tires, new hubs, bearings, lug nuts, trailer winch w/strap, grease gun and learn how to install the new bearings. Old trailer tires were cracked and needed replacing. . After that I...

    Boat cover?

    I got my cover from https://fivecsboatcovers.com Got it in 2013 and still good. All the seams and fabric are holding up. The only thing after 6 years was the rope buckle wore our and she told me to go to my local hardware store for a easy fix. I am sure the price has gone up but I would go back...

    NFR Help me kill my lawn

    Last winter I did a 17’x20’ by hand with a grub hoe and shovel. Lots of work and took weeks to do it, then had to dump in my yard waste and any neighbor willing to let me dump HEAVY loads (maybe only 20 gal at a time due to weight) in their 90 gal container which took months. Then did another...
