Heard from somebody that Sago Palm seeds are poisonous to dogs. Don't know if that's true but might be worth researching if you have both.

The fronds are too. Kidney failure for starters.

Note to self, don't eat palm fronds.

Frank it sure didn't rain much at Parish Point yesterday, the orange float in my rain gauge didn't even move! Looks like we have a better chance of rain today, we'll see!

A friend of mine was doing landscaping at his house and trimmed up some Sagos. His dog got into the pile and chewed up some of the debris. Dead 48 hours later.


Viking, we've gotten a lot of rain here and it looks like more on the way. You live in one of the Twilight Zone holes where all precip seems to avoid you. It's your year in the box, next year it'll shift East or West a couple of miles.

We made up for the rain right now...lol

Sure hope so Frank, been watching it on the radar and it's definitely spotty. Rain chances are good through tonight so hopefully it rains on and off all day. A cloudy rainy day like that will do wonders for my yard and newly planted Sago and Blueberries!

 

[FrankT]

Got it good at the house, so bad Direct TV went off

 

[Viking1204]

Sweet, I take it you don't have a rain gauge?

 

[FrankT]

No Sir, I do not, puddles in the road count?

 

[Viking1204]

Sure do, whenever my 17 year old crawls out of his cave I'll have him take a look at my rain gauge....

 

[FrankT]

I have to be pretty close to you, I am guessing 1/4-1/2"?

 

[Viking1204]

If you're on the West side of Waterford we're very close. Great guess Frank, my son's answer when I asked him to check the gauge was between 1/4" and 1/2", good enough I can leave my sprinklers off for another couple of days!

 

[FrankT]

what rain gauge do I need? lol Hey I don't water till the grass starts crinkling, then it needs it.

 

[Viking1204]

I have the cheap one from Tractor Supply, it's about 18" long and has big numbers on it you can see from a window of the house. Sooner or later I want to get one of those ones you can check online and they empty automatically! I have a feeling we'll get more rain later this evening or tonight sometime.

 

[Viking1204]

Guess what!

I know hunting exticnt species is a moral gray area, but that dinosaur had it coming. Those dinosaurs chose to die, creating oil reserves, which causes global warming. So hunt a dinosaur and save the world.
