The past week was pleasant here in Central Missouri. No rain, which we desperately need, but the temps were moderate and the humidity low.
Dove field has been seeded with sunflower and spring oats. I also got a pound of turnip seed to put down there, but it’s too early in the season to plant that stuff.
Victory garden is coming along nicely. I’m almost done pinning the weed cloth down. Other than the eggplants I put in the ground beds the greenhouse is pretty much empty right now. It’s time to start some herb seeds, but I’m going to the racetrack this weekend so I’ll wait until after I get home to do that. I planted spaghetti squash, watermelon, and dill over the weekend. Okra/pole beans/cukes are all out of the ground. Spinach bolted so I pulled it all and gave to the chickens.
Got to see 2/7ths of the grands on Saturday. Granddaughter Lexi had big fun catching bluegills from the pond. Most of them were caged up for a trip to my buddy’s quarry pond. A few were released to get bigger, and a few wound up being buried in the garden for fertilizer. Squanto wasn’t making that story up - it works.
Good neighbor Dave mowed my hay fields yesterday.
And just like that, out of nowhere, here comes the rain.
