The big alfalfa field across the road from the church just got cut. It should be a ‘hot’ (80’s) week & dry - great baling weather. Alfalfa mildews/molds easily so it needs to be dry before baling. I know the farmer (my cousin’s fiance) so we have interesting conversations at family gatherings, etc. He’s trying to talk me into getting a horse since I had horses for 40 years, but no dice so far. I can have an intelligent conversation on hay & we both have commercial size JD mowers (his mower is bigger) so he likes talking to me :-)
I will have my own ‘hayfield’ to deal with this week - grass shot up at least an inch just the last couple of days.
My favorite play was one my high school put on: “The Unsinkable Molly Brown” ... it was great!
Qiviut. Alfalfa makes a good fertilizer! Maybe I should look around here and see if I can find pelletized bag locally.
“Alfalfa mildews/molds easily so it needs to be dry before baling.”
This past week they took the first cutting of Alfalfa on our farm. They wrapped it all for just that reason.
Molly Brown! I remember the movie (staring Debbie Reynolds) and the beginning was her as a baby, in a basket, riding the rapids in a big river! Not sure if that was true or not.
She was a passenger on the ‘Titanic’ and survived the sinking, though. Amazing life!
