Life on the Farm
bjrogg:
When I left the park to go home I took a little crop tour to see where it rained and where it didn’t. The field I was trying to spray looked pretty wet. As I drove south the rain was obviously less. By the time I got home, which is only 4 miles from the park I could see it hardly rained there.
Had less than a tenth at home and I’m sure it was well over an inch at the park.
Did a little pulling weeds in my garden then went to church

Been following along best I can BJ. Just amazing to me how flat and vast things are out west. Looks like your melons are off to a good start in your garden. Had a bad storm come through the other night and drop a small amount of hail. A few marks on the fruit in the new orchard but think things will be fine. I did have to put something on that block, for fire blight, the next morning just to be safe. Beyond that apples had a lighter fruit set this year but should have great quality and size. So pretty good over all. Got my 30 lbs of blueberries in the freezer so should be good for the year with them. The guys been picking cuks, zuks, corn, blueberries and just strated with the peppers. Toms still 2 weeks out. only about 5 weeks for ginergold and the early honeycrisp in the orchards. My how time flies. So far so good. Smoke was bad here 2 weeks ago for a few days but have not seen any since.

The Smoke was real bad here yesterday, could smell it in the House when I got up! No rain here - was lucky. Got enough the last storm. Did manage to reduce the Groundhog population with the .17HMR tho - Coyote/Buzzard food ;D! Bob
bjrogg:
Hope you have a safe and prosperous harvest Mike.
We had one good rain everyone had around here and the rest have been spotty. Some people have to much and others don’t have enough.
Some really bad hail damage to the south about 40miles.
We are still okay. Actually really good, but I would really like to get our very perishable wheat crop harvested in good shape.
