Where are those plots?

[growalot]

plots should be growing well and new ones going in ...where are those pics? I enjoy seeing the fruits of others labors and how they set things up.... how or where things are planted, what, when and if new things are being tried...

Haven't taken any pics this year for some reason. Must be from being in a hurry non stop lol. Without pics I'll update until I can take some. Soybeans are doing good, getting browsed since my homemade barrier didn't go up until a week or so ago. But all 3 plots range in size from ankle height to knee/thigh height. They've all been spray again and one had been overseeded with rutabaga on this past Monday. Other 2 will be overseeded first of August ish.

ag fields are fine.  was going to get some DeerAg but i haven't gotten time.  we'll see if i can get a couple kill plots in.  couple i want to get to flooded out.  banks are washed so i can't get the compact tractor in there.  second year in a row my food plots are left for fawning cover.

Disc'd a few times, sprayed it yesterday. Planting frigid forage Big n Beasty in the next week or two, whenever we get a good rain forecast. Also have a clover and chicory plot that's doin good. Farmer didn't plant my 12 acre field this year so we will see what this year brings.

Here's one of mine. Got a little wet with the flood last week. Never ever saw the creek that high. My clover/brassica is behind the tractor in first pic, and to the left in other pics. Was under 4' of water at high tide. The brassica held on but the clover does not look like it will recover. Thanks kfully the 20 acres of beans in that field are coming back great.

Wow, that ^^ is a lot of water for this time of year.  Our place in western NY looks like that many years in the spring, but not too often in the mid-summer.  We just got back from our annual VA beach summer vacation where the place I usually get my turnip seeds was sold out.   Fortunately, Rinehart's in Middleport had them for $3.50 a pound, so I picked up some there, plus some wheat ($8.00 per 50 pound bag), white clover ($4.50 per pound), and a few $9.00 bags of 10-20-20 fertilizer.

I was able to plow down some old clover for a turnip plot yesterday and the moisture content in the soil was just about perfect for real easy plowing.   I also sprayed gly on one of last year's corn plots, that I had bushed-hogged a few weeks ago.   After the weeds brown up in a couple weeks, I will disk that spot up to get it ready for a fresh wheat/soybean/white clover mix plot around mid August.  I hope to get the turnip plot in by the end of July, but that might slip to early August depending on rains.    

My 2-1/2 corn plot, which is on well drained ground is looking especially good this year, but there is a little standing water on my smaller, low-lying, poorly drained, 1-1/2 acre plot.   I did the same thing last season, and that low, small plot turned out to be the bigger producer in the record drought we had.  If we keep getting so much rain, that smaller plot that did so good last year might be a bust.  

I always try and have some plots on ground that holds moisture well and on ground that drains well (it is tough to find both together).  It usually pays off to have all your bases covered because the weather is seldom predictable, and the computer age has done nothing to help long-range weather forecasting.  I am always amazed that way back in 1944,  IKE was able to learn when a small window of good weather would occur, allowing for the beach invasion of fortress Europe, over a week in advance.  Today they can't seem to tell if it will rain or if the wind will blow hard, or from what direction, later on the same day.

Planted clover and chicory on a logging road, first year and I was surprised to have many pictures within a couple weeks of planting. Maple tree hanging over that road had has made a communal scrape.

I will post more when my driveshaft is back together and I can visit my cabin. Has been a month and I'm hoping killing grass has helped my main plot.

1st pic is my best and main plot, 2nd is on other side of hedge row to main plot and is just full of weeds( not sure why), 3rd isnt all that bad seeing how it gets very little sunlight and pictures dont give it justice.

We're running a little later than normal this year due to the wet weather. We got 1 corn, 1 bean and 1 corn and bean in late. The bean plot was completely wiped out by the neighbors cows that got out. The other two are doing good though. No pics of them. We are going to start spraying the brassica and wr plots soon.

Deer coming in every single day.

Some mixed results. Deer loved power plant wti but ferns decided to out grow it. Had about 30% success. About 300 yards on a logging road of clover and chicory came in amazing and I just added fertilizer so it should be set.

o the loggers wiped out my murder plot(clovers) pretty well this past May. I didn't spray anything and just broadcasted Real World Soybeans into it. Up until 2 weeks ago I sprayed gly at a 3% mix.. not really caring if it killed the clovers or not. It did make alot of it at least dormant of not dead. But the gly is did its magic. Tonight I overseeded more DeerAg trophy clover with added chicory. As well as a brassica mix that had Ethiopian Cabbage, PTT, GHR, Rutabaga and winfred brassicas. Calling for rain this week so hopefully it takes.. there's plenty enough duff to lay down with a good rain so.. we should be ok

I'm planning to do a two acre murder plot in oats right between two existing clover plots.

 

I may overseed that with clover also and just go with  just the clover next year...

[LET EM GROW]

Can't hurt having clovers for sure!

Looks like rain likely wed,thur, fri. Plan on planting big n beasty tomorrow.

[growalot]

Due to EVERYTHING  being a mud hole and looking to rain again I took the  camera on my walk and took a few plot pics...until battery dies so here are some done...prepped and maybe a couple of re-do's...definitely many more that will be done when the WG seed come in...the alfalfa chestnut paddock plot is exploding with the rain and cold temps we are in the 50's here.

[growalot]

Ohhh and one of the 3 yr old Dunstans in the plot and ...looks like I have peach pie in my future and some canning to do...
