    NJ Forest Fire Impacts 30 Acres

    So I ask the question again....I don't understand the urgency for putting this fire out........ It's not in an area near any homes........ If it is where I understand it to be, it is in an area that needs to be cleaned out of lots of kindling and underbrush. I can understand the urgency to...

    Septic Truck breaks through bridge in Browns Mills, NJ

    Did they ever get the truck out of there? Or did it go into the lake? I never saw any follow-up on the newscasts.

    A New Tick Problem

    As if lyme disease and some other disorders are not enough, there is now a new concern regarding tick bites. The Wall Street Journal ran an article on this issue last week. After reading it, I think I may have an answer to some of my "ailments"....not really sick to go to bed, just feeling off...

    I'm moving to Lacey township NJ

    Well, I'm starting a regimen of antibiotics for the next several weeks for a tick infection(s). Went to the docs today for testing. Still have two rings from two bites that I got a week or so ago. Damn!!!!!! My bug clothes work fine when I wear them botanizing. It's when I am doing the quick...

    Hide your snacks when in Brendan Byrne SF...Yogi is coming!

    You are correct re. hibernation. I was misinformed. What I should have been told is that they come out of hibernation earlier here in South Jersey because it is warmer and we have shorter winters. Regarding the acquired taste for garbage....... Not only do campers need to keep a clean camp, so...

    Hide your snacks when in Brendan Byrne SF...Yogi is coming!

    Does anyone know what this "free floating" species is?

    Bob, I will go back in a day or two...with scale in hand and get some better pictures. For sure, I will keep you in the loop. And yes, the leaves have been looking reddish. I kinda agree with you that that these plants aren't used to this depth of water. This is a real mystery.

    Does anyone know what this "free floating" species is?

    Thanks Bob. There are no rhizomes. Visited again today; same condition still exists. And no flowers or even the hint of putting out any.

    Does anyone know what this "free floating" species is?

    Upon reading my husbands daily log book, I now realize that the rain wasn't in August but in September. This was the big storm that flooded Bill Haines' and other growers cranberry fields along route 563 out of Chatsworth. The heavy local rains were associated with Hurricane Isaac around the...

    Does anyone know what this "free floating" species is?

    I and my husband are doing a botanical study of an old Borrow Pit. This is our second year at this site. We have not seen this growth here before. This plant is "free floating" (meaning the its roots are not going down into the soil) on the surface of the water. The water depth is about 16"...

    This year we are taking both courses...the advance (again) and the weekly one. For the advanced course we have two plots...following up on last year's Borrow Pit, which so far has shown two new plants that we didn't see last year (Drosera filiformis and rotundafolia), many more Acer rubrum and...
