I only water trees planted this year, which is 7 trees. I’m giving each one about 3 gallons of water every 7 to 10 days unless we get good rain.

Thanks Bill. My number one target is the freak, but I don’t think I could pass the 10.

The only thing is one of those trace mineral salt blocks for cattle. That spot is kind of a natural staging area where they will be as they wait for darkness. I opened it up a little with a chainsaw but it’s thick between there and the crop field. PS - two different groups show up there but not...

Bach Group #2 in staging area waiting for dark to eat beans.

I haven't but I need to get into that. I stay so busy it's hard for me to think of starting something new.

Picked a few Olympic Giants because hornets were starting on them. I like them better picked a little early. They aren’t mushy that way, but still sweet.

I see them browse it, and I think it mostly is on the leaves of the plant. However, I'm usually watching from a distance with field glasses, so they may be eating the flowers as well. They like feeding in the lanes. New growth starts coming up when the sunlight hits the ground, and they seem...

I was over there this morning and two bucks were walking around in them. I had does watching me mow.
