Pics?

i thought the zone numbers were history? So now, we change the zones to regions. What a crock!

Ah, Quickweed. I had quite an extensive conversation with a soil scientist at the South Carolina state college years back. Quickweed is quite common down there, as a result, as he stated due to their mild winters. The plant has evolved itself into actually germinating set seed in mid flight from the parent plant. Quickweed thrives in a high nitrogen level soils. An effect way they use for control is by planting sorghum sudan grass cover crop.. He stated anything to break up a plant reproductive cycle is an effective control tool. Makes sense! Thus, summer fallow is a cost control method I use for many plants for weed control. The greens and stems are quite high in minerals and can be eat'en. Maybe if you can't beat it, eat it! Not me, however. I don't eat weeds, LOL.

I either summer fallow for wheat, or work up right after the hay comes off to reduce nitrogen loss in rotting sods and trash. i lean towards summer fallow, as every time weeds grow, disc down. That produces some nice clean wheat ground, come harvest, following year. I'd go with buckwheat next, since it's so late now. Sure will clean up the ground naturally. Get some mean flour too, LOL. Darn seed is expensive though. Common buckwheat is running high, a bushel for planting. High demand for pancake flour, the cause I understand. Lands all into corn and beans. I use to grow 40 acres back in the 70's. Get a good crop, maybe 25 bushel / acre, one in seven years. Mills paid $18 a hundred weight. Miss the buckwheat honey too, about 400 lbs.. Ramble, Ramble Ramble, LOL.

Muzzleloader season should extend another month, in these doe only areas, instead of picking on the bow season.

Tough call fasteddie, but it know doubt has some type of an influence. Some history of the property would be nice, to know and that can even change, some years. Grow, you like to make coyote coats, handbags, and rugs? Know you don.t mount antlers, but maybe a nice full size coyote mount with a rabbit in mouth would suit your living quarters.

Hope for rainy, cloudy days.

Happy Birthday Elmo! It's your day.

Some of my best tasting apples are the wild ones on my property. Some of the worst tasting too. Old time varieties can't be had anymore.

Now how did this happen? LOL.

One area of the spot I planted came up good, then the crack grass came through, taking control of that entire area. Came in better than most peoples lawns, LOL. Timothy and clover was thinly growing in it on first work over. That quack seed will stay in the ground for years and regrow on turn over. Reworked it and now going into wheat next week. My other plots are starting to absorb the nitrogen. Plenty of moisture in the ground here too. Love it when a plan comes together. Looks like a good fall ahead for watching the bucks breed the doe, Starting to get itchey with this cool weather ahead, LOL.

I hunt it all, dependent on weather conditions, time of the year, fruit and nut crop, and just plain how feel that day, My senses tell me where to go and I know how to get there, LOL. Don't limit yourself to just a couple options. You will evolve into a better hunter.

Congrats grow! Newborns are some much fun and they grow so quickly. I love being a grandparent. My oldest is going for his first hunting adventure this season. I don't know who's more excited, him or grandpa. I named different areas of the farm after them. Of coarse, radish planted in all their spots, LOL.

A member got me thinking here, I better get working on the last radish seeding. I went in with the tractor and work up another area, say just shy of an acre. The thunder spreading through the sky as I seeded radish, oats, vetch, and a little blue grass separately. Cyclone seeder worked great, except the vetch and bluegrass flowed out to quickly with setting on zero.. Installed my cardboard template to slow the flow. This should be enough radish for this year. One more spot for oats, then the wheat will go in, end of the month. Taking pics semi weekly and will post soon. Turkey and deer are already working on the first planted.

Rain and thunders heading your way. Started here at a quarter to twelve.

Great looking doe! I'd like to see more doe pics and video on here!

Always been a fan of sky pictures. Beautiful shots!

I gotta say wooly, if that's what heaven looks like, I sure hope I go there, LOL.

Either one would look great on your wall.

Their's much more to food plotting than that. My wife says my blood flows green, LOL.

I set a mineral block out for the livestock to use behind the barn. Am I bad?

I have some your welcome to.

19 inch?

It's all the bowhunters fault for not shooting enough doe.

Always like to see deals like this in Walmart. Not to ST125 friendly, however.
