Million dollar rain?
Million dollar rain?
Will the rain save farmers? Not completely, but it helps. The Tall Man declared that it would be good for the third hay cutting, and won’t hurt the soy beans.
The corn? Well, it depends on the field.
The Tall Man’s master’s degree was in ruminant nutrition, so we all chew very carefully at our house. It also means he knows more than the average Joe on the street about corn-moisture levels.
He was pleased with the rain’s impact on his green bean patch.
How does your garden look? Many people just gave up, declaring it to hot to go outside and tend their tomatoes.
The Tall Man thinks that dealing with the heat shows moral fortitude—not that he ever puts it quite that way. It’s more that he doesn’t believe in complaining.
I believe in complaining in moderation, heat in moderation and the Tall Man’s wisdom and advice, in moderation.

Frogger I was thinking of that, but going to wait as fair projects are taking the priority.

I've yet to drive by a field that looks bad. Lots of conclusion jumpers.

my lawn looks like....tall mans straw.
Yeah, I think I can go two days w/o watering except for some container pots.
twerp- better pull the weeds. If they go to seed you will be in bigger trouble.Pull today they'll come out easy. Did some myself at lunch.
That Bayer Durozone is working quite well. Not many to pull. Just touch ups.

"third hay cutting"?? Many farmers are still waiting for the second cutting. The tall man should get out more often.

Garden looks sad...the one side I stopped weeding even because there were no plants left and I wanted to keep something growing there so the soil wouldn't blow away if we got heavy winds like back in the 30's with the dust bowl...oh well there is always next year
to grow the perfect 4H garden.
