I plant about 300-400 acorns every January that I collected the previous fall. White oaks you can plant immediately upon collecting in fall. They’ll send a shoot down soon after. Red oaks need to be stratified for 90-120 days in fridge, then will sprout in January when planted in soil. As mentioned above, keep in damp peat moss in fridge for stratification.

Multiple posters have brought this up but you absolutely have to have a squirrel-proof cage of some sort. A typical large-ish greenhouse won’t even cut it oftentimes. They’ll find their way in. A “planter box” enclosed by chicken wire works great for squirrel proofing.

Overall, it’s a really cool process and very rewarding to plant trees in the ground on your property that you grew from seed. Expect 20-30% success rate when done correctly based on total number of acorns you collect/plant. And even then, that number usually drops a bit due to squirrels, caterpillars, or other pests. Plant more than you believe you’ll need, if you need to give some away that’s a good problem to have.

Currently I am looking for overcup oak, bur oak, and cow oak acorns to plant for this coming cycle.

The Advocate has 9414 listed as the address I believe, not 9412. Does that pull anything different?

I have a couple boxes running right now. But, I do want to try my hand at building a few more myself. I saw this link posted above.

Ducks Unlimited Duck Box Build

Looking for feedback. For those that have built and placed in south LA, do you prefer cypress or cedar in your experience for a homemade box? For either one, any places you could point me to in south LA that may have those 1 x 10 x 12’ boards for sale?

I have never seen a thread where the first 3 posts are the thread-starter.

Should I start Justin fields tonight (vs Denver) or Jared Goff (vs Green Bay)?

Also bonus question, should I start Kyle pitts (vs jax) or Luke musgrave (vs Detroit)?

Ppr 12 team. Thanks in advance

Some schools float the idea of a new league that does not have NIL or the transfer portal.

I know the schools may desire this, but I doubt there’s many student athletes who would willingly take this route instead of getting paid and the ability to switch schools if their team’s/coach’s situation changes. Seems silly for an athlete to lock in in this type of manner.

If any.

South Carolina was his break and it was right in the middle of the season. That game was essentially a longish bullpen for Skenes.

Actually I really liked how this inning played out ending it with Alderman. Makes Jay feel safer trying to get one more inning out of skenes and you don’t have to start the 6th facing alderman.

6 straight fastballs between 2 at bats? Come on. I don’t care if it’s a freshman. It’s an SEC hitter.

You can transplant to bigger pot. The bigger pot will allow much more root expansion, which leads to more above-dirt growth.

Then plant in ground in winter.

Most oaks are fairly receptive to transplanting if you do it the right way.
