Does anyone have any experience with fruit trees in their yard?
I have a 1/2 acre lot and was thinking of getting: semi-dwarf apple (self pollinating), semi-dwarf peach (self pollinating) and a potted dwarf banana (to bring inside in the winter – also self-pollinating)
Am I being dumb? Will it attract too many bees? Will the fruit be gross?
Or is it a cool idea and I can enjoy some fresh and yummy fruit through the year?
[I still miss Rasmussen, so here’s an article that Wheeler wrote back in 2018 before Ras ever played his first game in Detroit. How spot on is this quote from his old coach:](https://theathletic.com/491908/2018/08/28/michael-rasmussen-the-once-every-10-years-kid-may-be-ready-for-red-wings/)
> “Occasionally you’d like to see him crack a smile. He’s all business 24 hours a day and that’s his personality, that’s what makes him tick. You sort of understand him for what he is and he takes the game very seriously,” Tory said. “He’s going to give it everything and he’s really focused on trying to get better every single day, which I think is really going to help him in the long run.”
They are fully in the shitter at this point.
Casper not coming over most likely until the fall and that’s a good thing. He can work out before training camp and GR’s preseason. I can’t wait to see him in Detroit but at the same time North American ice adjustment might take some time. He’s a physical center similar to Larkin so maybe he slots into 3C right away. Nice to have potential center depth of Larkin, Copp, Ras, Veleno, Casper and potentially Lombardi. GR should be better next season.
Montreal has back to backs today and tomorrow, unfortunately one of them is against Philly. Ideally, they take Philly to OT and win. Keep the points coming!
Last Smash Summit ever this past weekend. End of an era 🙁
Hopefully some other org or someone in the Smash Bros community steps in to revive them someday, but I can’t imagine they were huge money makers. Summit may be well and truly dead and that’s a damn shame because they were some of the most exciting tournaments to watch.
We had a competitive 3/4’s of a season that im very happy with. I don’t mind tanking the last 10 games or so and potentially getting another top 10 pick. Best of both worlds imo : )
Via ansar
RedWings practice prior to hosting Penguins tomorrow at 7 on @BallySportsDET
Chiarot, who’s missed five games, and Zadina, out the previous game, are skating. Husso still out.
While I don’t mind getting a better draft pick for this season with so few games left, I’m getting so tired of people hating on Yzerman’s off-season moves like it got us stuck in the middle or that this team still needs multiple years at the bottom. Multiple years picking sixth overall? Fuck that. Yzerman can’t just let this team continue to burn in the pits of the NHL’s basement for a decade plus and expect anyone currently on the roster to actually give a shit and know how to win when it comes time to be a legit threat in the league. Just so many boneheaded takes… makes me glad Yzerman is the one in charge more and more.
Okay, rant over, sorry!
I posted a separate post about it, but I’m in search of a Red wings x Carhartt (‘47) hat that was released a few years back. If anyone has one they’d be willing to part with, please let me know!
Anyone playing RE4 remake?
Gotta love your toddler deciding to wake up and scream from 2 – 6am and then walking into the office already exhausted to start your work week.
If this team goes one more season without a 20 goal-scorer I might go fucking protest LCA. I cannot believe after drafting top 10 for the past like 6 season or whatever this team STILL cannot draft someone that can actually score a goddamn goal on a consistent basis aside from Larkin.
Like, it is insane and I get so jealous looking at all these young prospects for other teams come in and light it up immediately and we haven’t gotten shit other than a small flash of Berggren being good for like 1/4 of a season. Just spend this whole draft taking anyone with skill, the system has enough “good 2-way guys” to stock up two whole fucking prospect pools.
Berggren practicing on the 4th line with Luff and Czarnick. Poor guy
We interviewed Kay Seider (Mo’s dad) on our show! We’ll post the interview this week (it’s in German and we have to translate it to English) so y’all can learn more about our growing superstar 🙂
