Wife saw those thistle and thought it was a pretty native flower till we looked it up and found out it was an invasive and she said they have to go.

Well, I have to recant. Found this one growing in the field. I immediately dug it up. Looks different than any we have had before

That's a real beauty with a whole mess of seeds. Some of this stuff is maybe transported in thru our bought food plot seeds or maybe it just travels a long ways with the wind.Well, I have to recant.

Yesterday I got a lot done. Last weekend I found jap beetles on my fruit trees so I picked up some bonide. Went to spray yesterday and they had already eaten the leaves on several trees. Hope it does not kill them. I sprayed the water Sheila in my pond from my boat and that should get most of it. Also tilled and planted an acre with this seasons leftover soybean and sunflower seed. Got a pic of this doe laying next to one of my ponds.

Went to the farm on Sunday and did some maint on my Kubota lawn tractor and just puddled around. Took some pics and checked on my tree plantings. Nap beetles were back on one tree so I sprayed them again. Chestnuts are coming along just fine. Getting a good burn down on the water shield in my pond. Sunflowers are starting to get seed heads and the milo is doing much better than I ever expected. The beans are a little disappointing.

Place looks great! Cool pic of you spraying the pond from the canoe / john boat. I'd have tipped right over and taken a swim most likely. Not much going on at our place other than mowing fields and prepping for fall planting. Just put cameras out this past weekend to see what we've got in inventory heading in to fall.

Yesterday I mowed the strips between my plots to clean them up. We picked some blackberries that were ripening. Should have a bunch more next week. Checked my cams and have 5 spikes on camera. Lots of does and fawns.

I met with my private forester today to go over the logging operation that will be wrapped up in the next couple days to go over what the final outcome will be like final grading and slash removal. My wife was happy to see her watermelon and pumpkin patch was loaded with fruit. They are full of blooms so should be a good year. Our first attempt at melons and pumpkins. The milo is getting tall and I was so happy to see my sunflowers were opening. An added bonus was that they were loaded with honey bees. I have'nt seen that many since I was a kid.

The Japanese beetles were all over my dunstan chestnuts so I sprayed them with bonide. I did not know they ate those leaves too. Hope it doesnt kill the trees.

I saw them hitting my fruit trees a month ago and never thought to spray the chestnuts with bonide. I will definitely do it in the future.

Today we planted our timber plot which maybe a .25 acre. I tilled, put down 500# of pellet lime and planted buck forage oats, winter rye and big buck brassica mix with large ladino clover mixed in.
I mowed down the weeds on another plot about 1 acre. I then sprayed it with gly. I plan on tilling and planting the same mix as I planted on my timber plot and fertilize with 200# of 6-24-24.
The pumpkins and the watermelons are growing nicely and vey satisfied with their growth. The forage sorghum are starting to put on seed heads.
A few doves were seen today and I expect them to show up in a couple weeks.
