Croptober 2023 in Full Swing

The harvest is not the same beast it once was.Much of the billions of dollars that would flow into the small towns in Northern California every year has been lost in the years since legalization passed. Permit stacking here at home, Oklahoma flooding the East Coast market, and a poor regulatory rollout contributed a lot to the pain in both the underground and legal markets. But there is still hope to be found in harvest season because of what it meant to the survivors. For those who have made it this far through the storm, the harvest is when the efforts of a year’s labor come to fruition. Many of them represent the last grasp of outdoor OGs holding on for the culture, as so much of California’s outdoor and mixed-light cannabis production has moved to giant facilities. But not everywhere. People like Dashiell and Mariam of Barrett Farms, named for their dog, are more than willing to show you the heat coming out of small craft cannabis farms. The pair told us the season started off w...Chris Kreider scores twice, Rangers beat Sabres 5-1 in season opener

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Joel Farabee and Travis Konecny scored in the first period, Carter Hart stopped 31 shots and the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-2 on Thursday night in the opener for two teams looking to rebound from disappointing seasons.The Blue Jackets lost their top defender, Zach Werenski, to a leg injury in the second period. The team said he had a quad contusion but coach Pascal Vincent said it isn’t believed to be serious.The Flyers ruined the Columbus coaching debut of Vincent as well as the first NHL game for Adam Fantilli, the third overall pick in the 2023 NHL draft, who started at center on the Jackets’ third line.Playing on his 19th birthday, Fantilli picked up his first NHL point with the primary assist on Jake Bean’s first-period goal. Patrik Laine also tallied for the Jackets.Elvis Merzlikins made 32 stops for Columbus.Merzlikins didn’t have much of a chance on the Flyers first goal.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Lexi Thompson kept a rough round from getting worse and wound up holding her own Thursday in the Shriners Children’s Open until darkness kept her from finishing.Beau Hossler set the pace by matching his career low on the PGA Tour with a 9-under 62, which included a tee shot that found the water left of the par-3 17th at the TPC Summerlin.Thompson was the main attraction of this FedEx Cup Fall event, the seventh woman to play a PGA Tour event and the first in five years.She was 1-over par for her round through 16 holes and chose to mark her ball — a 20-foot par putt on the 17th — and return to finish the first round in the morning. Still in play was a chance to make the cut, though it was hard work to keep her score around par.“I played decent,” Thompson said. “I had one bad hole and a few iffy shots. But it’s golf; it was kind of expected.”Thompson took advantage on two of the par 5s for birdie, and she got a bonus with a birdie putt from inside 25 feet on the...Kreider scores twice in Rangers’ season-opening 5-1 win over Sabres

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes threw for 306 yards and a touchdown, Harrison Butker kicked four field goals, and the Kansas City Chiefs held off the Denver Broncos 19-8 on Thursday night for their 16th straight win over their longtime AFC West rivals.Travis Kelce had nine catches for 124 yards for Kansas City with Taylor Swift again cheering him on from an Arrowhead Stadium suite. But the Chiefs (5-1) leaned more heavily on their defense to shut down erratic Russell Wilson and the Broncos (1-5). Remembering Broncos superfan and ‘Mile High Monster’ Kerry Green Wilson was held to 95 yards passing with a touchdown and a pair of interceptions, and woebegone Denver finished with just 197 yards of total offense.Still, the Chiefs' inability to turn red-zone trips into touchdowns nearly cost them.Butker's first three field goals helped them to a 16-0 lead, but Wilson's touchdown pass to Courtland Sutton — ruled incomplete but overturned upon review — with about six minutes remain...Israel orders evacuation of 1.1M people from northern Gaza: UN

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s military on Friday directed the evacuation of northern Gaza, a region that is home to 1.1 people — about half of the territory's population — within 24 hours, a U.N. spokesman said. This could signal an impending ground offensive, though the Israeli military has not yet confirmed such an appeal. On Thursday it said that while it was preparing, a decision has not yet been made.

U.N. spokesman Stéphane Dujarric called the order “impossible” without “devastating humanitarian consequences.”Earlier, the Israeli military pulverized the Gaza Strip with airstrikes, prepared for a possible ground invasion and said its complete siege of the territory — which has left Palestinians desperate for food, fuel and medicine — would remain in place until Hamas militants free some 150 hostages taken during a grisl...Now is the time to water trees, horticulturalist says

AURORA, Colo. (KDVR) — Trees. We love them, we buy them, we plant them. And someday, we hope they love us back with a little shade.But not if they die before their time, which is why you have a little chore to do this weekend: Water your trees. View the latest Weather Alerts in Denver and across Colorado on FOX31 "We think that in winter, trees are asleep — they drop their leaves, they don’t need any water. They all need a really good drink before all this happens," said Colette Haskell, a horticulturist at Nick’s Garden Center.Haskell said now is the time to give your trees a big drink of water before they go dormant."You can lay the hose there on a slow, medium drip, and then move it around every 10 minutes underneath the tree if you don’t have a deep root feeder," Haskell said. A big, satisfying quenching of your trees’ thirst is the best way to keep them around.Tree care: What not to do before a freezeBut there are also things you will want to avoid doing.

That means camping with style. Ghost town discovered on Colorado’s Western Slope There are three campsites from which to choose: a cabin tent, a dome tent with a locking door and a tiny cabin in the woods complete with lighting, heating, kitchen and bathroom.Popp bought the scenic property in 2019 to create a place for those wishing to soak up some earth, wind and fire.“I grew up doing this kind of stuff and it always stuck with me, and so being able to make this my career and let other people experience this, what Colorado used to be, it just lines up with exactly what I want to do," Popp said.Welcome to 105 West Ranch.
