March 1st, getting close to gardening time here in central KS!

After a chilly day today - 30 degrees and sunny - we are looking at a very nice warm-up into the 50’s and close to 60 for the upcoming week.

The snow they were predicting will most likely fall as rain, which is MUCH easier to shovel, LOL! :)

KH; HejDu! Sliding.... Update on the Winter Wheat "Garden". (Those "big" quarter section gardens!)

Brave aggregator spit out this....."According to the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service, the March 2025 report rated 19% of the winter wheat in Kansas as being in good to excellent condition, up from 17% the previous week. This indicates an improvement in the condition of the Kansas winter wheat crop. However, the prolonged warm winter has advanced the crop development stage more than usual, with some areas in Kansas already at the jointing stage, which makes the crop more susceptible to freeze injury. Cold air temperatures occurred during January 26-27, which could potentially cause freeze injury to the 2024 Kansas wheat crop. The risk of freeze injury is higher for more advanced fields, such as those at the first node of development or more advanced stages."

Ok. Return slide to the "Back of the house" garden.
