Its planning time

[Suilleabhain]

Last year I put up Hawthorn and blueberry. This year some more hawthorn go in and I started wild grape and had some acorns sprout roots. Deer and bear ate all the turnips and apples by December. Our plot tends to be wet, we have to dig a drainage ditch an put a pipe in to get the water off it. Too much of that swamp grass taking over.

I went down to feed and water the chickens and the 200 yrd distance was a killer...snow was upto my knees...our shepherd got tired of my resting every 20ft...and jumped out of my tracks to run ahead she took 5 bounds then stopped and waited for me to catch up.....lol she didn't care for being buried with each bound...stayed behind me the rest of the way...

So all me after Christmas plans are on hold...just trying to keep up with the shoveling...got another 5 ins. last night..

No fat on the buck and then this early deep snow ...hhhmmmm won't be good if this keeps up.....They are smart though and should vacate the hill ...The valley has farm crops and less snow

I am interseted in frost seeding, I have small areas to put in something but no access to farm equipment or 4 wheeler.

I frost seed all my wheat land with red clover-grass mix every year. That way, I always have a fresh seeding. Works better for me, than fall seeding. The pics were seeded March 2012 on sandy loam soil with a ph of 6.0. Two cuttings of hay were removed before the pics were taken.This was a trial spot, as it was clear seeded non wheat ground.

Frost seeding is a great practice. Looks good.

frost seeding is good but the ground should of been cleared of vegatative matter in fall... Ordered seed today for spring, never to early as a lot of the good mixes sell out fast! especially with drought in most of th ecountry this year.

My Welter catalog showed up 2 wks ago...and it is pretty thin compared to past years....

[SplitG2]

Welters is a good company. Ordering my clover from them today. Ladino, Alice and kopu to frost seed.

I used Welters this year, have nothing but good to say about them.
