Isn’t that the truth!
Looks good, I can see the red clover seed in that last picture. I never could figure out why red clover comes with a white coating and white clover comes with a reddish brown coating. Seems backwards :)

I added some rye, wheat and oats to the clovers I spread and cultipacked it this will be let go until late Aug early Sept and planted to cereeal grains in the LC rotation.
Last years sorghum mix plot has left enough to do a throw a mow/roll for this years sorghum mix plot.
Emerald Ash boer has taken part of our woods, I'm not sure what would come up naturally so I've adding some oaks during my spring plantings.

Emerald ash borer is now within 50 miles of where I live. Not many ash trees here, but I have a lot of black ash on the north property.
Kind of like cwd. Not a thing you can do about it.

Most of my trees came this week but I haven't had time to plant any plus the weather hasn't cooperated so late yesterday I made it out and got 50 planted and tubed 10 plus I overseeded a couple brasssica plots with red, crimson and ladino clover. Thursday I also tried my first shot at grafting 10 apple trees all on B118, 4 liberty, 4 Enterprise and 2 Arkansas blacks we'll see.
I planted all plugs yesterday, plugs are so easy to plant.
Things are just starting to bud out around here.

After 3yrs of planting on this hay field things are starting to grow above the grasses, they made a big jump last year.
With a couple casualties.
Through the years I've stuck quite a few ROD cuttings in this low spot and this year I'm finally seeing some results, patience is needed on a lot of these projects'
This throw and mow rye plot is the only green right now.
I broadcast the clovers into these spent brassica plots that were pretty bare.
Still quite a bit of thatch in these brassicas from the rolled down rye.
Plans for today are getting my MDC seedlings planted and trees fertilized it's supposed to be near 60 deg.
That field will really start to fill in this year.
That planting bar looks like the one I bought from a former Mn forum member, Jim.
Apple grafting will soon keep you busy. I grafted 13 or 14 this year and I need to figure out where to plant them as I have room for about half...

Yes Art, Jim Timber made that plug planting tool. I've wanted to try grafting for awhile.

I am going to pull some volunteer spruce as soon as the frost is out and plug them in. See how it works out.

My wife recieved some flowers and the flowers had curly willow in the arrangement, after the flowers had died I took the willow and put them in water and they all took off. I looked on line and there is a bunch of curly willow out there so I bought some cuttings and I'm starting them in pots and keeping them this summer at the house and planting them out this fall.
Also I have some common apple seedling plugs from U of Idaho I potted and I'm keeping over the summer.
Slowly coming alive here.

I didn't apply for a turkey tag this year, I'll have to see if they have any OTC tags.

My cuz gave me a curly willow plant and it died back every winter. Maybe this winter finished it off, time will tell.

I got most all the Mg clusters and rhizomes planted mostly on a new screen but some in switch for bedding.
Things are starting to leaf out, I might have some Shenandoah pears this year for the first time.

Kieffer pear
Honeycrisp apple
THis is what I plant some MG in for bedding.

I usually mow it twice but that depends on the moisture in the soil it could only be once.

Not much going on here, had a doe hit almost in front of our house the other night.
Bet you can't tell where I fertilized the conifers.
MG is lagging behind like everything else this spring.
Late April I broadcast oats, wheat, rye, med red and crimson clover, this turkey is walking through it, came in decent.
Few trail cam pics.
