I disced my garden up today,corn, beans, squash, everything that was planted.. Going to start over. Grass and weeds got the best of me. I hope this break in the weather allows some cultivating time this second go round. This is only twice I have ever did this.Calling for three days without rain.

Mine was planted about 3 to 4 weeks ago. Not a day I could till it but once, but was busy helping FIL. Rained next day and wet ever since. People didn't get corn in ground. Started with beans. Just this weekend saw the first hay being cut. The wettest spring I remember by far. Tracy ------------- No greater gift than healthy grandkids! |

Send some rain our way Tracy; friend I buy hay from just did first cutting, 77 round bales last year at this time, 17 off same field this year. Looks like I will winter less cattle this year as hay will likely be climbing and not the best quality at that. Fingers crossed for rain so maybe better on 2nd cutting, plus pastures are now fading fast.

I took my good hoe to my daughters last week, thinking I would hoe some of it for her. Couldn't hardly find the sweet corn and noticed a patch she had left for later corn had been mowed off with her riding mower. I hoed for about 5 minutes and gave up. I have a couple rows of sunflowers on the end of my garden. It's to rough to get my wheeled cultivator thru, so I mixed up a gallon of water with some "Volunteer" that I had. Just had to hoe out a couple velvet weeds and lambs quarter. I been keeping my green beans pretty clean, just the later planted ones didn't come up well and what I replanted amongst them didn't either. First planting of Dad's heirloom beans.  Second planting after I spot replanted.  ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |
