Mining began in the area with the discovery of gold on Franklin Gulch in 1886. In 1896 Bob Mathieson found a major prospect on Upper Chicken Creek, staked his claim and built a cabin. Chicken (a common name for ptarmigan) grew as a hub of activity for the southern portion of the Fortymile Mining District. Seven hundred miners were thought to be working the area between 1896 and 1898. Although many miners left during the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898, Chicken remained a viable community. A post office was established in 1903 when the population was around 400. In 1906 Harvey Van Hook built the two-story Chicken Creek Hotel. In 1925 Ann "Tisha" Purdy taught school in the building. From 1946-1953, Molly and Bob McComb used the building as a roadhouse, store, and bunkhouse. In 1953 F.E. Company bought the grounds and turned it into a mess hall and bunkhouse for their employees. Approximately a dozen buildings in historical downtown Chicken are listed on the National Register of Historical Places. The Pedro Dredge, also a National Historic site, originally mined in the Fairbanks area before its move to Chicken in 1959. The dredge is one of the few dredges in the state open to the public.

Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
24 Apr 2012 23:33 GMT | Humanitarian crises, US & Canada, United States, US
US federal prosecutors have brought the first criminal charges in the Gulf oil spill, accusing a former BP engineer of deleting more than 300 text messages that indicated the blown-out well was spewing far more crude than the company was telling the public at the time.
Two years and four days after the drilling-rig explosion that set off the worst offshore oil spill in US history, Kurt Mix, 50, was arrested and charged with two counts of obstruction of justice for allegedly destroying evidence.
Mix, who resigned from BP in January, appeared on Tuesday afternoon before a judge in Houston, shackled at his hands and feet, and was released on a $100,000 bail. His attorney had no comment afterward. If convicted, Mix could get up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on each count.
The US Justice Department made it clear that the investigation is still going on and suggested that more people could be arrested. In a statement on Tuesday, Attorney General Eric Holder said prosecutors "will hold accountable those who violated the law in connection with the largest environmental disaster in US history."
US investigators have been looking into the causes of the blowout and the actions of managers, engineers and rig workers at BP and its subcontractors Halliburton and Transocean in the days and hours before the April 20, 2010, explosion.
But the case against Mix focuses only on the aftermath of the blast, when BP scrambled for weeks to plug the leak. Even then, the charges are not really about the disaster itself, but about an alleged attempt to thwart the investigation into it.
In court papers, the FBI said one of the areas under investigation is whether the oil company intentionally lowballed the amount of crude spewing from the well.
In outlining the charges, the government suggested Mix knew the rate of flow from the busted well was much greater than the company publicly acknowledged.
Prosecutors also said BP gave the public an optimistic account of its May 2010 efforts to plug the well via a technique called a "top kill," even though the company's internal data and some of the text messages showed the operation was likely to fail.
An accurate flow-rate estimate is necessary to determine how much in penalties BP and its subcontractors could face under the Clean Water Act. In court papers, prosecutors appeared to suggest the company was also worried about the effect of the disaster on its stock price.
The charges came a day before a federal judge was to consider granting preliminary approval of a $7.8 billion civil settlement between BP and a committee of plaintiffs.
In a statement, BP said it is cooperating with the Justice Department and added: "BP had clear policies requiring preservation of evidence in this case and has undertaken substantial and ongoing efforts to preserve evidence."
The FBI said in court papers that Mix had been repeatedly notified by BP that instant messages and text messages needed to be preserved.
The engineer deleted more than 200 messages sent to a BP supervisor from his iPhone containing information about how much oil was spilling out, then erased 100 more messages to a contractor the following year, prosecutors said. Some of the messages were later recovered via forensic computer techniques.
Many of the messages had to do with an effort to plug up the well with heavy mud injected under high pressure.
In public statements, the company professed optimism that the top kill would work, giving it a 60 to 70 percent chance of success.
On the day the top kill began, Mix estimated in a text to his supervisor that more than 15,000 barrels of oil per day were spilling - three times BP's public estimate of 5,000 barrels and an amount much greater than what BP said the top kill could probably handle.
At the end of the first day, Mix texted his supervisor: "Too much flow rate - over 15,000 and too large an orifice." Despite Mix's findings, BP continued to make public statements that the top kill was proceeding according to plan, prosecutors said. On May 29, the top kill was halted and BP announced its failure.
The company's stock dropped 15 percent on the next trading day, the government said.
David Uhlmann, a University of Michigan law professor who was chief of the Justice Department's environmental crimes section, said the charges are probably "just the first of what will be multiple criminal charges."
"It could be the sign that the government believes there was a more far-reaching cover-up about the size of the spill," he said.
BP stock closed at $41.91 Tuesday, a drop of just 4 cents. Analysts said investors evidently recognized the charges involved just one, low-ranking employee and saw no hint yet of any kind of larger cover-up on BP's part.
The explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig killed 11 workers. More than 200 million gallons (757 million liters) of crude oil leaked from the well off the Louisiana coast before it was capped.
Under the Clean Water Act, polluters can be fined $1,100 to $4,300 per barrel of spilled oil, with the higher amount imposed if the government can show the disaster was caused by gross negligence.
Al Sunseri, whose family-owned oyster business was damaged by the spill, said there was little real news in the arrest of Mix. "I personally believe it's so involved that we could never really understand the magnitude of the bad players involved," he said.
Billy Nungesser, president of hard-hit Plaquemines Parish who has long accused BP of misleading the public about the spill, said: "We're just glad that the truth, and all the truth, will come out. Where crimes were committed, BP needs to pay the price."

Blind Dates
Ok, opinions needed:
I have two friends. They have never met. I think they would like each other. What do you all think about blind dates? Or being set-up by friends? Is it offensive? How involved does one get in a friends love life? And then how does a person avoid playing "monkey in the middle"?
No blind date. Plan something that involves a small group like a backyard BBQ or even attend a free concert as a group or an art exhibit or motorcycle rally - something.
They may hit it off. They may be attracted to someone else in the group. If you allow the invitees to the small group to bring along a single friend, you may meet someone too (if you are looking).
If you think they have something in common besides the fact that they are single go for it or, like someone else said, have a get together and invite them both.
I've been on dates set up by friends where it is obviously we're just both single and there is no other point of connection between us; it's very awkward. And there have been times when the other person has a trait I specifically said I didn't like; for example I don't date smokers yet I went on blind dates with two different guys set up by the same friend and it turned out they were both smokers. So I wouldn't even consider another blind date set up by that friend.

connection poolA cache of database connections maintained in the database's memory so that the connections can be reused when the database receives future requests for data.
Connection pools are used to enhance the performance of executing commands on a database. Opening and maintaining a database connection for each user, especially requests made to a dynamic database-driven Web application, is costly and wastes resources. In connection pooling, after a connection is created, it is placed in the pool and it is used over again so that a new connection does not have to be established. If all the connections are being used, a new connection is made and is added to the pool. Connection pooling also cuts down on the amount of time a user must wait to establish a connection to the database.

The year is 1327. Franciscans in a wealthy Italian abbey are suspected of heresy, and Brother William of Baskerville arrives to investigate. When his delicate mission is suddenly overshadowed by seven bizarre deaths, Brother William turns detective. He collects evidence, deciphers secret symbols and coded manuscripts, and digs into the eerie labyrinth of the abbey where extraordinary things are happening under the cover of night. A spectacular popular and critical success, "The Name of the Rose" is not only a narrative of a murder investigation but an astonishing chronicle of the Middle Ages.
Umberto Eco is the author of four bestselling novels, The Name of The Rose, Foucault's Pendulum, The Island of The Day Before and Baudolino. His collections of essays also include Five Moral Pieces, Kant and the Platypus, Serendipities, Faith in Fakes, and How To Travel With a Salmon and Other Essays. A Professor of Semiotics at the University of Bologna, Umberto Eco lives in Italy.

This manages to be both a gripping murder-mystery and a vivid window into the Middle Ages. Its author is a distinguished medievalist and evokes the period wonderfully but also fills the novel with playful allusions to Sherlock Holmes, Freud, Borges, etc.

Poole wreck: 17th-century rudder comes ashore after 400 yearstags: shipwrecks, England, United Kingdom, Poole wreck
An elaborately carved rudder that has sat on the seabed of the English Channel for more than 400 years has been raised by archaeologists.
The rudder, which features a man's face carved into the wood, is part of the so-called Swash Channel Wreck, thought to have been a Dutch trading ship that sank in the early 17th century.
Very little is known about the ship, which was discovered on the seabed near Poole harbour in Dorset....

[quote:44170:MV8xNDUyMTcyXzMyODM0MDQxX0UyMzIxNjJC] [quote:AmazingGRACE:MV8xNDUyMTcyXzMyODMzMjI1XzJENTY5OTYz] [quote:AmazingGRACE:MV8xNDUyMTcyXzMyODMzMDE4XzdCNEU2Mjcz] [quote:44170:MV8xNDUyMTcyXzMyODMyMjIwX0U1ODAwQTg5] Two nights ago I dreampt that I was home with my little girl and dog, my son was at college and I received a text message from Nathan ( I don't know a Nathan) that said, 'antiochus has fallen'). He sent it 5 times in a row. I looked out my window and then saw a fireball going across the sky. Shortly after my brother called me and told me he was on his way and asked if I could see the fireball. It was as I was going downstairs (I don't live in a place with a downstairs) that the house started to shake. I didn't know if I should stay in the house or go outside. I woke up shortly after because my roosters were crowing. Very, very weird dream. I've tried to figure out the whole antiochus thing and have come up blank. I don't remember reading anything about that. It's just a blank as to why it was such an important phrase. [/quote] OMG.... are you kidding me??? whoa.... I KNOW exactly what it is about.... Antiochus IV Epiphanes He was a type of anti-christ....persecuted Israel and did the first abomination of desolation. THIS IS HUGE....that you got this ..... I believe it is from the LORD. I also got this word about Antiochus IV Epiphanes on 7/18/12. It was in reference to 2 Thess. 2:4. What I heard from the LORD was that the AC will be like Antiochus and kill the faithful, not the traditional. Study the history to understand. So that the fact that you heard this mean that the AC has fallen....meaning that satan himself has fallen to inhabit the AC. This is a fulfillment of Rev. 12:9: "The great dragon was hurled down--that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him" Wow...I'm really blown away right now by this dream. It is another confirmation to me that this happened very recently. Are you a Christian? Have you gotten prophetic dreams before? This is one of the most prophetic I've seen in a long time! [/quote] I looked up the name Nathan and it means 'gift of GOD'....and its origin is HEBREW... and Nathan in the BIBLE is a prophet....He was the one that prophesied to David about the BUILDING of the TEMPLE. Now, it was Antiochus that desecrated the temple.. hmmmm.... this is getting more and more interesting!!! http://www.babyzone.com/baby-names/baby-boy-names/meaning-of-nathan_146214 [/quote] So if what you said is right, I haven't checked the whole antiochus stuff, then Antiochus falling is a bad thing? I had thought it was a good thing. But if what you is saying is true, it's a bad thing. That could explain why in my dream it felt like the Earth had given way underneath me. It could also explain why I was afraid and not jubilant. has anyone else posted anything like this? it still sort of bothers me because it was so important to get let me know. What's it mean? If it was a warning of things to come, wouldn't a loved one who has passed before come and told me? and why would it be so cryptic? Unless the dream was meant for someone else and I was just suppose to pass it on. [/quote]
Original Message
I thought I would start this thread since there seems to be a lot of people here that are also having dreams and visions.
It really seems as if we are living in the last days....there are signs all around us:
wierd signs with the sun
bizarre weather
strange strains of viruses
WWIII on the horizon
New World Order
have I forgotten anything??
Remember what the Word says?
'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams
Acts 2:17
Well, this really seems to be happening. It is really cool, but also very sobering.
Why would we be getting these dreams, visions and words? To sound the alarm for ourselves, our loved ones and whoever else will listen. These are warnings and wake up calls.
SO, the purpose of this thread
is for people to report all that they are seeing and hearing from GOD. That can definately include any
that has meant something to you! (EDIT: Share from a Christian perspective, please)
I'll start by giving the dream I had 2 nights ago that really, really shook me up:
I was with a bunch of people in the woods and we were indoors in a lodge-type building. We knew there was some danger, but it seemed far off and nothing to worry about. However, there was one person who was concerned and said he would be the watchman outside while we slept. No one was concerned.
Right away it was the next day. I went outside to see the watchman and he seemed very alarmed. He had a geiger counter and showed it to me. It was in the danger range. I couldn't believe what I was seeing and thought it might be a false reading. Therefore, he gave it to me and I started testing all over the place. When I went inside the lodge it registered normal, when I went anywhere outside it registed in the yellow/orange danger zone.
The next thing I saw in the distance marching down a hill was an army of cloaked/hooded entities. I say 'entities' because you could not see any faces and they sort of floated down the path. There was a sense of real evil with them and I quickly ran inside where I felt safe. Then I woke up.
The 'entities' looked like the 'grim reaper' and my first sense about them was they were angels of death.
P.S. I want this thread to be open to discussion and any questions that I can possibly answer!! Peace!

Using What We've Learned
Over the last year, we have looked at ways to create sophisticated web sites using little more than CGI programs written in Perl. Among other things, we have explored HTML/Perl templates (for separating design from programs), HTTP cookies (to identify returning users) and relational databases (to store information in a readily retrievable format while gaining robustness and security).
This month, we will see how we can use all of these techniques together. Such a combination of techniques is used on many commercial sites and is the basic idea behind several web server projects, including Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASPs), Vignette's StoryServer, AOL's freely distributed AOLServer and the freely distributable PHP/FI.
Note that many of the examples in this month's installment refer to techniques and ideas that were discussed in previous issues of Linux Journal. If you are new to the magazine or to the ideas, please see the "Resources" sidebar, which should give you some good starting points for learning about these subjects.
Our example site will revolve around a single table tracking users' birthdays. Once we have created the table for the birthdays, we will write a CGI program that allows users to enter their birthdays into the table. Finally, we will combine the use of cookies and Perl/HTML templates to create personalized home pages drawing upon the information stored in the database.
Assuming that MySQL is our relational database server and that our table will be in the "test" database, at the prompt type the command:
mysql test
This starts the MySQL client, allowing us to enter SQL queries interactively. The "test" database used in these examples comes with MySQL and is completely insecure—it cuts down on the space required to explain how to secure new databases created with MySQL. As a result, you should seriously consider creating separate databases and users for each of your web applications, so as to reduce the risk of unauthorized users modifying or viewing data on your system.
First, we must create a table with information about our users and their birthdays. Here are some simple SQL commands that create such a table:
mysql> create table birthdays (person_id int unsigned auto_increment, -> firstname varchar(15) not null, -> lastname varchar(15) not null, -> email varchar(50) not null primary key, -> birthdate date not null, -> key id (person_id));
This creates the "birthdays" table in the "test" database. The table has five columns (person_id, firstname, lastname, email and birthdate), none of which may be blank. Each row in the table represents a distinct user whose birth date we wish to track; we ensure that no user is entered twice by setting the "email" column to be a primary key, which is a fancy way of saying that no value of "email" may be repeated. Since users may have multiple e-mail addresses, we cannot ensure that a user will not enter his or her birthday twice. However, this is likely to reduce such repetition, and is better than using the person's name, which is rarely unique.
The first column, person_id, will be set automatically by MySQL each time we add a user to the database. The first entry in the system will have person_id set to 1, the second entry will have it set to 2 and so forth. Because person_id is of type int unsigned, our system can accept no more than 4,294,967,295 unique entries—smaller than your particular database might need, but large enough for most of my purposes.
We can get a good picture of our database using the "describe" command at the "mysql" prompt, as follows:
mysql> describe birthdays; Field Type Null Key Default Extra person_id int(10) unsigned MUL 0 auto-increment firstname varchar(15) lastname varchar(15) email varchar(50) PRI birthdate date 0000-00-00
Now that we have created the infrastructure, we need applications that will allow people to enter their birthdays. The easiest way to do this is to create an HTML form whose contents are submitted to a CGI program that takes information from the form and saves it to the database. One such form is shown in Listing 1.
The form is relatively straightforward, although it might seem a bit daunting because of the long selection lists defined using the "select" and "option" tags. Using such lists, rather than allowing the user to enter a birthday into a text field, reduces the number of errors that a user might enter. It is certainly possible, though, that someone could create an HTML form with identical field names, using text fields instead of selection lists, and thus circumvent our system. The moral, then, is that you should always try to reduce the number of errors that users might enter, but always check to be certain that data were entered correctly.
As you can see from looking at Listing 1, our form gathers six pieces of information: first name, last name, e-mail address and user's birth month, day and year. The latter three pieces of information are separated so that we can simplify the user interface; as we will soon see, combining these to create an valid MySQL "date" type is fairly simple.
Our form's "form" tag indicates that data should be submitted using the POST method to a CGI program named "enter-birthday-info.pl".
We take the user's input and create a SQL query that creates a new entry in the table:
# Now that we have the basic information, create # an SQL query my $command = "insert into birthdays "; $command .= "(firstname, lastname, email, birthdate) "; $command .= "values "; $command .= "(\"$firstname\", \"$lastname\", \"$email\", \"$birthdate\")";
Of course, you do not need to store the command in the variable $command. Indeed, you can create the command directly when using $dbh->query, rather than putting it together and then passing $command as an argument to $dbh->query. Putting the query together in this fashion makes it easier to read when programming and easier to send the SQL query to the screen if bugs appear.
After we send our query to the database server, the row is probably added. However, we do not want to just assume it was added because something serious might have happened, and we wish to give a correct indication of the outcome to the user.
First, we check to see if $dbh->errno--the value of an error returned by MySQL—was set to 2000. This is the specific error code returned when trying to insert a row that conflicts with another row. Since we have defined "email" to be a primary key, the odds are rather high that if errno is set to 2000, then we have tried to enter a duplicate e-mail address:
if ($dbh->errno == 2000) { &log_and_die( "There is already an entry in\ the database for \" $email\". Try another\ e-mail address!"); }
If this was not the case, then we should check for any other error. The easiest way to detect errors is to see if $sth is undefined; if it has not been given any value, then an error occurred, which we identify for the user and in the error log. Note that our general error-catching mechanism needs to come after the mechanism for catching error 2000.
elseif (!defined $sth) { &log_and_die("MySQL error " . $dbh->errno . "\ on command \"$command\"
" . $dbh->errmsg) unless (defined $sth); }Finally, if no errors occurred, then we can print a message indicating success:
else { # Return something to the user print "
Done!
\n"; }

Convert Google Docs Folder to Static HTML Files (python)
Closed - This job posting has been filled.
Job Description
Write a Python script that uses the Google Docs API to download the contents of a Google Docs folder, convert those that have been updated since the last run of the script to static HTML, and then scp to a provided server. The folder may contain subfolders, which should be maintained as directories when converting to static files.
- Google Docs identifier
- server name + path
You can assume that there will only be one heading level 1 in each document. The text of that heading should be used for the title of the document. The filename of the document should be whatever the title of the document is converted to lowercase, with spaces replaced by hyphens, and all other special characters removed.
Any comments assigned to images should be assigned as the image's alt text, that is the text of the comment should appear instead of X below:
All other headings should be maintained, as should tables and other structural components of the page. This is probably already done by the Google API.
Here is an example folder:

Success with Home Depot/ Lowe's fruit trees?
First let me start by saying, I am completely hands off as a gardener. I was wondering how much success other have had with Home Depot/ Lowe's fruit trees without putting in much care to them.
I have bought about 8 or so different dwarf or semi-dwarf fruit trees over the years (plums, apples, nectarines, peaches, pears- most of which were labeled as self-pollinating and I got 2 if they weren't). I plant them and I do not prune or spray them with anything. They all seem to follow the same pattern of having small junky looking fruits for a few years and then one mega awesome gigantic fruit year, and then never giving anything good again.
Anyone else have a similar experience?
I wish fruit trees was that easy to grow. I had to put lots of care in my trees to be able to get good quality fruits. Dormant copper spray in early Spring before buds break, Spectracideî 32oz Triazicide Once and Done Concentrate after petals fall and every two weeks and stop about 3 weeks before harvest. Thin out fruits every 6 inches for better quality. Spray immunox for brown rot if it is too humid near harvest time. If you want to grow less care tree then try Asian or American persimmons, Jujube tree, or paw paw.
I don't think the retail nursery is as important as the wholesaler (mislabeling aside). There is no difference if I pick up at Dave Wilson tree from Home Depot, Summer Winds (local nursery) or online. It's all the same stock.
Your issue may be not putting any care into the trees.....
We never have trees from Dave Wilson at our big box stores in the northeast and the suppliers are not necessarily reputable wholesalers of fruit trees. Trees are notoriously labeled falsely, and not because of customers switching labels, they are securely fastened and I see no reason someone would do that.
They also have no clue about best varieties for the specific weather in areas they sell them- usually just opting to sell mediocre varieties that function in colder climates.
Unfortunately, this is also a problem with local nurseries as well. Better to buy bare root trees from reputable fruit tree nurseries, ordering in late summer for delivery the following spring or fall.
If you don't want to put in the time to care for the trees, you may want to stick to a couple species that are relatively trouble free, like pears (some sites) and Asian pears (most sites- get a Korean Giant, AKA Olympic).
If you have a weed free sod (no clover, few dandelions) you could get lucky with peaches as well, but you will need to thin them- but then you also would need to thin the pears.
I believe Tonytran's spray schedule is probably excessive most anywhere in the country and certainly is in the northeast. Immunox is not very good for brown rot except at the blossom stage (blossom blight, which has never been a problem for me at scores and scores of sites)- stick with Monterey Fungus Fighter, one spray about a month before stone fruit ripens and see if that isn't adequate.
Thanks for your responses so far. Well although the trees only had one superb season, each one was able to more than pay for itself in fruit, so I was happy I have them. But now they do nothing so I was thinking of chopping them down. We heat our home by firewood, so they wouldn't go to waste. Spraying them with stuff is not really my thing. Everything else in my yard is planted and left with no sprays and minimal pruning and it's been fun to experiment to find plants that just want to thrive and produce fruit with no assistance in my yard. So far I'm surrounded by fig trees and all kinds of berries that don't require any assistance from me. Even in my veggie/ herb garden, I don't do more than just pulling a few weeds by hand and we have veggies all summer. Again thanks so much for your responses so far.
I hope this isn't off topic but I say it for the benifit of those who work at it and still get bad or no fruit. Many if not most fruit and nut trees are grafted but ALL dwarf trees are. Unlike normal trees,dwarfs are on roots that don't alow them to flurish. That makes dwarfs even a bigger challenge than their normal size bretheren. The rootstock has a strangle-hold on the prefectly normal fruit bareing top making it less robust in desease,insect and weather conditions. As is true of any grafted plant,the rootstock will put out offspring of their own in the form of suckers that will grow much faster than the desirable wood. An unsuspecting gardener might prune away desirable wood to alow the healther looking rootstock to replace it. They wind up with a strange tree that doesn't produce good fruit or often no fruit at all. That's over simplafied but hopfully conveys the intended message.
For my location, weather is the biggest problem. More often than not, we get frosts during bloom time that kill most of the buds. Even if there isn't a frost, I've seen lack of honey bees during cold, overcast weather patterns at bloom. Occasionally we get major ice storms or deep freezes that kill fruit buds in late winter.
Even if fruit does set, inconsistent rainfall throughout the season is the norm. We almost always get a month period with very little rain followed by a weeks of constant rain and little sun. To little or too much rain can make big difference to the fruit quality. Sometimes you need to water the trees during drought periods to make sure the fruit stays on, let alone develop properly
One year everything actually went right until we had a major
wind storm in mid august that blew most of the unripened fruit onto the ground. It's always got to be something. :-(
As far as looks, I think you can anticipate ugly fruit if you don't spray them with some kind of anti-fungal compound. Apples in particular can look very ugly until you wash off the sooty blotch and fly speck fungi. Just because they look bad on the outside doesn't mean they are on the inside!
I have had great success with Home Depot and Lowes apple trees. I don't think it matters where they come from as long as they are healthy. If you are going to be a no spray person having success at growing most fruit is not going to happen. You can go on line and order certain disease resistance trees, but bugs will still be an issue and some disease issues will occur.
I bought a Candice grape from them once that has done nothing but struggle to survive. Every year it is severely chlorotic and I have to assume that they didn't supply grapes with the proper rootstock to live in our calcareous soil. Other grapes in the area thrive. This isn't a big surprise when you see all of the blue berry plants they are unloading on the public that will plant them in soil with 10-40% lime and a ph that wont budge from 7.8. It's the little things that can make a big difference with plants and I think that the big box stores overlook this.
i am no fruit expert ...
but are you shopping bigboxstore at this time of year... if you are .. you are setting setting yourself up for a hard run at success ...
i see no problem.. labeling aside.. buying stock when it is freshly shipped in ... and no trees are shipped in.. in july/august ... so you are buying bargain stock that has had.. most likely.. less than perfect care.. since early spring delivery ....
sometimes they get an assortment in fall ... and fresh stock always responds best ...
you said: I am completely hands off as a gardener. .... without putting in much care to them.... I plant them and I do not prune or spray them with anything.
i think you know.. or should.. the spraying and care regimen.. that fruit production requires ... so i dont understand why you complain ... at your result ...
and dont get me wrong... i do it EXACTLY like you do ... and i get the same result ... BUT THAT IS ALL I EXPECT ... you seem to be expecting more ... and i dont think that is going to happen.. and it has nothing to do with bigboxstore ...
BTW.. this horrible winter.. in my MI ... not a single trees flowered ... dont forget winter.. has an impact on production ...
i ended up in this predicament.. because grandpa.. kept having trees sent to the kids.. and we had fun planting them ... they are now teenagers.. and frankly ... we are still waiting for something on many of the trees.. lol .. g pa and the kids had fun with it all ... so the memories are set .. but i am not interested in multiple spraying... proper pruning... proper watering on sand... etc .. and i dont expect.. much of a success ...
g pa has passed... the kids are teens... and rarely go out in sunlight... but we still.. once or twice a year.. talk about g pa and the trees ... who cares if we get fruit ....
good luck..
