My Place

Time for an update:
Rifle season was a bust. Didn’t see anything worth the bullet. It got a little chilly in Ky for a few days:

Decided to make the new part of one of my plots a Chinese Chestnut grove. I'll girdle/remove the remaining sunlight blocking trees. The plot is still 2.5 ac

Put my trapper to work:

So far catching some nest predators. 3 opossum, 1 skunk. Helping the turkey and quail.

Just got back from fun in the sun in Kentucky.

New water hole holding up good. It gets a little sun but mostly shaded.

Walmart Dunstans I nursed all last summer and planted last December are looking good. The late frost set them back a little, but 3 trees have catkins.

Don’t do the lime, if you ain’t got the time. Another 520 pounds on a small plot the lime truck can’t get to.

Blackberry everywhere. In particular along my roads.

Also had a farmer put 2.5 ac of beans in, got my fruit trees and
2 ac of clover cleaned up, got cowpeas/lablab/sunflower mix in, and trying out chuffa for the turkeys.
There’s never enough time...

A brief update:
Had a farmer neighbor put 2 1/2 ac of beans in for me:

Looks like my cowpea, lablab, sunflowers are taking off:

Clover was being over run with switch grass. A light does of gly, cleth and 2-4 dB has it looking pretty good. Thanks Mennonite Man!!

Speaking of turkeys. First pic of a hen with poults on my property. Looks to be a good hatch. At the new waterhole

I have small field of clover with switchgrass inter mingled. My brother has one of his favorite stand on it. We constantly argue over it. He wants a pure clover field. I say a clover field with random 5 foot switch grass is better.
Argument continues.....:).
