65 here this morning

I have the same going on in a little jar with grayling guts. It's foamy gunk that's also oily and sticky, so it floats to the surface. I'm thinking it's some kind of fatty acid x decaying protein polymerization product which is lighter than water yet insoluble in it. You can just scoop it out carefully, like scum on soup. It will settle between the oil and watery layers eventually but it takes a (long) while.

Coincidentally if you heat leftovers from sun-rendered beaver tails in a pot, you'll get a similar picture, except it will form a sticky foam that will float on top of the oil layer.

We have far too much knapweed out here . We put our goats on it and they eat it. That and pulling it are fairly effective

You can order them up to 6 feet long, and almost 3/4 inch thick from Home Depot. However, you can only order them at certain times of the year. I ordered 100 stakes that are 6 foot long to Alaska. Free ship to store!

They list many sizes and lengths to pick from.

Yep root systems are unreal. 3 year old tree I dug. Sold a few hundred this spring. Dug most with the bobcat but this one I dug by hand just to see what the roots were doing. These ones love the sand.

Getting the plum going with the predators is the hardest part for me Bob. All it takes is even a rabbit to do enough damage..

Getting persimmon to grow and thrive and survive in my zone four seems to be tricky

Excellent good job Elon

Praying for more rain, and riding the side by side.
Of course looking for tracks.
