The black (Chambord) raspberries in my back yard are ripening. My wife and I
had a few yesterday. Our Pixie Crunch apple trees are full of God's little green
apples, and the place where we camp has so many blackberries that I can hardly
believe it. In 3 weeks, weather permitting, we'll be there when the first ones are
ripe. In 5 weeks there will be more than we could even pick.

In a few weeks the grocery stores will be full of dark sweet cherries.

Where i grew up downstate there were so many blackberries growing wild along the sides of the roads and in old cemeteries, etc., that you could easily pick gallons. Same with morel mushrooms, kids would go out and get gunny sacks full of them...

Enjoy your bounty!

See? There you go again, contradicting your lie just hours ago.
You said you already moved wth back yard. And now you say you just
mowed some more.

And why can't finish the back yard in one session? I just did a
takeoff of your back yard's grassy area amnd it's literally about
1,3900 square feet - teh size of a large apartment. It's 15 minutes
of work.

You don't mow shit 9/10's of teh time you claim to be mowing. You
just make up this shit so you'll have something to post about,

Now THAT is pretty ****ing pathetic - this guy lies about mowing the
lawn 15 times a week just so we'll think he has a life

WOW.

I was gonna weed-eat today, but I said fuggit. Is anybody jealous
of me whether I weed-eated or not? Yeah I didn't think so.

By weed-eater do you mean string trimmer?
The gas powered ones are heavy, blow fumes right in your face, and
often difficult starting. The new B&D ones are battery operated,
weigh half as much, no fumes, no cord to hassle with pulling, no
gas/oil mixture storage, runs a full hour on a charge... best
gardening tool we recently invested in, retired that smelly/noisy gas
guzzler. And since we have a lot of trimming we bought a second
battery to charge while using one.
Black & Decker also has other tools that use the same battery, we
bought their pole saw too, has a chain saw, makes easy quick work of
trimming overhead branches.

I had an electric line trimmer. It was basically useless. It didn't have
enough power for the greenery I was dealing with. I bought a Weed Eater
and it had a lot more power, but those were cheap pieces of crap and I
had to replace them regularly. I took one into a local garden equipment
shop for repairs and the owner told me he didn't really want to repair
it. He said they are cheap pieces of crap and that the repair would cost
almost as much as it was worth and it would just break down again. He
suggested I get an Echo. It was about twice the price but he assured me
that it would last for years and do a much better job.

He was right. I have had that thing for years and it rips right through
the grass and weeds. It takes a fraction of the time and effort the
electric one and the WeedEater did. I bought a steel blade attachment
for heavy duty work so it can handle wild roses, prickly cans, seedlings
and heavy weeds. I make sure not to leave old gas in it and it usually
starts up with just a couple pulls and a tank of gas mix is enough to
get me through the entire yard. I one gallon can of mixed fuel is
enough to get me through the season.

I bought BD battery trimmer. Used it for 2 feet then chucked it. Back to gas. Total waste of 90 bucks.
BD battery trimmer for sale. Like new...5 bucks. Really.

We have a Makita battery-powered string trimmer. Its battery is the
same as several of my husband's other power tools: drills, circular
saw, etc.

I have an Echo string trimmer, works no better than the new B&D
battery powered one. Echo makes several grades of string trimmers,
some more powerful, made for heavy brush clearing. For typical lawn
work the B&D is more than adequate. And with any string trimmer a lot
depends on the nylon string used.
I also have an Echo leaf blower, it's heavy and tiring but mostly it's
noisy... but I deal with those leaves by using mulching blades on my
mowers... I haven't used my Echo leaf blower in years. Everyone's
property has different requirements. I finish mow about ten acres
every week, mulching blades on my 7' mower makes the job pleasant from
my air conditioned tractor cab. I also have a smaller tractor that
mows a 52" swarth. I use a 21" push mower for tight areas. Some
areas require a more delicate operation, trimming around tree trunks,
then I use hand powered scissors.

I had tried a battery powered leaf blower. I thought it would be a lot
less hassle than using the corded one I already had. I could just whip
it out, blow off the patio and sidewalks. It was useless.

The cheap end trimmers use thin string. It doesn't have the mass to cut
through thick stalks and stems and it wears down quickly.

Leaves don't really need to be mulched. Just running over them with a
mower shops them up enough that they quickly decompose. It looks kinda
grubby for a day or two but then the bits disappear. I used my Toro
electric blower to blow the leaves into the open spaces so I can get
them with the tractor mower.

Agree. We've used the battery ones for years. Black and Decker
generally.
