Life on the Farm
M2A:
Good luck with your Granny crop Stoker. Their harvest date is not until the 1st week of November here which makes them a tad late sell in the market, not many customers after October. I did make a deal with a fella a few years ago and planted one in a hole, just as a pet tree. A rabbit got up on the snow above the tree guard and ate the bark off one winter. Left all the Gala around it alone. lol Maybe got 15 apples off that tree. I should give it another go.
Been dry and windy most of the week, looks like a rainy spell for the next few days. Good chance to get some work done in the shop.

Sorry I haven’t been able to post much this week. I ended up catching whatever my brother and nephew had. Worked through it, but I just was to whipped at the end of the day to think about anything. I’m starting to feel a little better, but just a little.
I did finish up planting our soybeans and I even planted a small food plot for the wildlife. Be interesting to see how it affects things.
Last Sunday my neighbor and his son stopped over and tilled my garden. Then I switched 12 rows of the planter back to corn so I could plant my sweet corn. Usually my neighbor does with his four row planter but he was still planting soybeans. I planted 24 rows in really good conditions so I hopefully get a good crop to eat and put up in the freezer.
Our corn came up nice. Your right about the corn that comes up later Mike. If a corn plant comes up just a day later than the plants right next to it. It will never catch up and really is almost a weed. Dr. B says it doesn’t matter what you do to it it won’t catch up. You can even pee on it. He’s tried it.
My sugar beets have a few spaces I would have like to see filled in, but they are going to have to be good enough. They aren’t quite as sensitive to neighbor as corn. Also the open spaces make it harder to control weeds.
We are getting ready to plant our edible beans now. I got the pre emergence herbicides this morning. Have the planter switched over to edible beans. Washed it up and cleaned up the Quadris system. I don’t use it for the rest of my planting.
When I was picking up my herbicide I pasted one of the smaller windmills they were working on. They had the hub and blades on the ground.
Strawberries are really blossomed out nice.

Thanks Bob. I’m feeling a lot better today. My head still feels like a volleyball and my ears and sinuses are still a mess, but I’m definitely going in the right direction.
