If you vote for McCain, you are saying that you liked what happened the last
7 years.  I doubt if Obama would be any better, but at least we would have
new crooks in.

Everyone, write down your tax and spending plan.

Now send it to the list and ask us to vote for you for Grand
Homesteader of the Year.

We have here, what, perhaps sixty of us who post regularly enough for
name recognition? How many votes will anyone get?

Now, how many will vote on November 4th in the USA?

I went to Chase City today. It's a town 20 miles from here and there
are lots of Pecan trees growing there. They are smaller Pecans than
the ones you get from far south. I bought a couple of trees a couple
of years ago, Stuart and Desirable. I'm hoping that they will ripen
nuts here.

I'd like some more trees, but I'm just fine with the Chase City
smaller pecans. They taste great and crack well enough. I'm thinking
to plant some trees from seed. I stole a few today growing in front of
a church (in the swale). But I've got a friend that lives there and
will give me some seeds.

I was reading a web page that talks about stratification and not
freezing the seeds, that would kill them. Now, I'm thinking if I bury
the seeds 4 inches, they should be just fine. But maybe I'm wrong. The
ground freezes here but not that deep in a normal year. Anyone planted
pecans from seed?

Also, what is a northern or hardy pecan? I understand it's a variety
for northern reaches, but what zone? Are they grafts or seedlings? I'm
thinking that growing from local seed has to get me a pecan that would
bear here. If they don't give lots of nuts or big ones, they still
make nice trees.
