Spent a lot of time walking around there in the 70’s and 80’s; never looked like that.

those pics are a small sliver of the park… it really beautiful,… all the piers around Manhattan were remodeled for sports, leisure, eatery’s, a lot of tourist… there’s a walking paths and bike path the rounds Manhattan, there’s a section near the United Nations that’s being worked on now to close the loop…

20 years ago Jersey City was a nothing, it’s developed on par to Long Island City…

Staten Island Ferry is FREE, great 1.5 hour view, wen the feet get tired…

.

That has nothing to do with landscaping ?

Where is it suggested I share this bright thoughts… Delete It, I’m familiar with that… cellfish…

Flowers yes,
Ferry NO !

Also noticed one of my Banana Trees (a small one at that) is beginning to fruit. I'll try to load a picture later.

Banana "clutch" in process...........

That "pod" that you see will continue to grow downward on the stem. As it grows that outside covering/shell opens up to reveal the fruit's flowers. Each of the flowers becomes a banana, It's not the best picture of it - but if you look at the right side of the pod toward the top in the second picture you can kinda see them.

Trees are now about 12-15 feet in height.

Except for the one that's fruiting. That one went only chest high before the pod emerged (Burst?) from the side of the trunk like that creature in Alien coming out of that guys chest.
. :oops:

Never saw that before although this is only the second time I've had one start bearing fruit. Last time the pod came out of the top of the tree & the tree was at 12 to15 feet or so.

I have better pictures that show it from the 1st time they did this but they are on a different PC. I try to put them up later.

Looks better than 90% of the lawns on Long Island

The lawns in my neighborhood are primarily over watered, green, and lush
NOT mine
As I have stated repeatedly, I refuse to spend money on fertilizer to dump excess Nitrogen into the groundwater and ultimately the bay. I also refuse to spend money wasting water only to give my self extra work of having to mow every 5-6 days.

My neighbors just love me LOL :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

[USER=78]@Chevy1[/USER] - probably a stupid question, but when is a good time to lop off a bunch of low branches from my 2 - 3" trunk diameter white pines and white spruces? Now, later fall/early winter or spring?

I'm confident on my maples, birches, oaks, & hated poplars that should be done after they've shed their leaves, right?

Thanks - D

February/March here, probably March/ April by you . But definitely do it before any new spring growth appears.

Much better results in the fall, no crabgrass and less weeds
