Absolutely, no problem. I give it to you freely, to use it for any purpose you desire, be it pleasure or profit. Robert Moyer 9/10/2016

Mine is also LL Bean.

THAT, is a very old mill. Interesting! When I was down the shore this year, I took along a book titled "Apostle of NJ--John Talbot" (1645-1727). The preface has quite a bit of early history. In 1678, when the mill was established, some English Quakers sailed from Hull to Burlington by way of...

Thanks Sue, I was hoping you'd ID them.

I went to Dover Forge for 15 minutes today to check on a plant I've been watching. It only took 40 seconds to get a load of them on my knee. I had permethrin on, and watched 30% of them fall off in 2 minutes. Those fell inside my boot. I brushed the rest off. When I got home I looked at my pants...

Yes, bad here Al. A couple weeks ago, a small swarm ended up on my pants just above the knee (as usual). I had permethrin on the pants. They stopped moving all of a sudden and just stood there like a deer in the headlights. I brushed them off easily. But last week with Guy, even though I had...

It was, I think. The lobes on the leaves were not rounded.

Al, how's your chigs down there this year?

Can we draw a parallel here between this and road closings?

Yes, I think they contracted that out after Sandy blew them all down. Pretty sure, but not positive that was the case.

Believe me, beaver are killing many thousands of cedars where I roam. In addition, the flooding is creating stagnant water that breeds mosquitos. Is it time for a petition? Do we want to ask the Pinelands Commission and DEP to start reversing this trend? After all, we want our old Pine Barrens...

When we found that old stash, I broke open one of those homemade pipes and found a little hash oil left in a small bottle. I dared Guy to try it..."take a few tokes, says I, you'll go into dreamland". Gut did take a few, and it was hard to get him up and going after that. It was stronger than I...

Mark, Erichtites is not known to be milky. My first ID method is usually the overall gestalt of the plant. If in doubt I go over the keys.

Al, we all learn, all the time. By the way, on Gerry's trip, there is wild lettuce over 7 feet tall on the RR tracks just east of the bridge on the Manumuskin (north side). Russ was there, and was eating the lettuce. PS: the leaves of Lactuca canadensis, the most prominent lettuce up here, are...

Photos of lettuce. The final photo is a comparison of a lettuce inflorescence (on left), with Fireweed on the right.

Al and Mark, that is not lettuce (Lactuca), it is fireweed (Erechtites). To be fair, I collected more samples today and analyzed them. Keep in mind some facts: 1) Lettuce has small ligulate flowers. What that means is that the individual florets have a strap for a corolla (think of a belt...

Al, I don't think you are, but, as I said, I'll get back out there and get the inflorescence and explain to you why I disagree. It has to do with the flower heads and what they consist of. You deserve that much for being interested. Besides, you may be right. I've been wrong many times in...

Terry, what about those fan leaves. Maybe Iris prismatica?
