Life on the Farm
BrianS:
Love seeing the happenings at your farm. Thank you for taking the time to post the pictures and updates.
bjrogg:
You’re welcome Brian. Glad you enjoy them. I always try to watch your videos too.
We should be done planting now. We put a lot of seeds in the ground in the last week. I should give you all some numbers if I get a chance. Lots of fresh new green lines showing up in fields now.
I got home a little early tonight and looked at the “Jawge” graft. It looks great to me but I’m guessing I should remove any apples if it gets any this year. Maybe Mike can give me some advice.

Had a big long comment almost finished then pressed the wrong key and closed out the screen by accident :fp
Remove the fruit this year. See how it grows and maybe leaving a light crop next year. Looks great! Looks like the bloom made it through the spring frosts so you ought to get some fruit from the bigger tree. 28 degree F for 3 hours is a 90% kill during full bloom. We made it down to 29 for 30 min one night this year. Interesting to see the timing difference. We are about a month ahead. Lodi(July apples) will be ready in a month about. But a long way to go on Stamen and Rome with a mid October pick date. The season for Primary apple scab is over and I think I got through things well this year. Lots of early mornings, maybe tonight I can post a few sun rise pictures from the last month. Need to turn my attention to some of the field crops soon.
Been hot and dry here for a while. No rain in the forecast either. Odd for this time of year in SW Pa. Think the last rain was May 20th and that was less than .5"
Worked hard this week to finish everything to be able to do some work in the shop this weekend. I better start by cleaning up my mess:)

Thanks for the info Mike. That’s what I was thinking for my limited knowledge.
I did some mowing by my pond and beach. Made everything look a lot nicer.
