A great stand of switch that my dad planted many yrs ago. I've harvested seed from it and transplanted it with good luck from both.

Man, you are planting so much stuff I would not know which ones were coming up. Good luck with it. Some of those are some fairly large seed but your thatch seems sufficient. With that and timely rains it should go great.

 

[catscratch]

I assume a high failure rate and plant a lot because of it. I also go with a large variety of plants just so that if condition don't favor one thing, they might favor another. Plus I think no one plant is attractive all season.
For new plants that I'm not familiar with I do a small test plot in the yard like I did with the food grade beans this yr. I learning a lot about them: black eyed peas canopy quickly, lintels don't look anyt
hing like I imagined, and another one of them sent out tentacles and would be great if they had something to climb...

Did you mix the Black eyed peas and all the beans together?

Yep, all the beans and peas are mixed together and in the same plot.

Sawtooth Oak drops acorns in mid to late October in Springfield, MO., are yours already dropping?

 

[catscratch]

Not really. One of the trees had dropped a few, the others range from large and green, to caps with barely a nut showing. Lots of variety with these trees.

Your throw and mow would look good in a crock pot with some fatback!!

I had that running through my head too! I would rather them turn into something the deer like though.

The throw n mow continues to work on our place. The grocery store beans are going to make it. The cover plot is doing well, as well as the cereal grain plots.

Look at the aggregate stability on the young roots...soil life in the ryhzosphere....one of the most important 'little things' in soil health. From the time a seed germinates until about mid bloom, plants are continually building soil for you....new roots, new root symbiosis, new aggregates, new life...and why some want to totally destroy that soil system is beyond me! I like to upset the plant maturity curve to lengthen soil building time.....by disturbing the top to get more root activity. A plant is a tool and tools need to be tweaked from time to time...once a tool is beyond it's useful age it is of little value for performing a job!

So your saying I did something right...

My view tonight: kids window hunting does and fawns in the "yard plots" (they still whisper and hide even though they are in the house).

And a gorgeous view of the moon, lake, and a distant thunderhead. Ignore the Halloween decorations...

As always,looks great

 

[Turkey Creek]

You are a blessed man!

 

[Weasel]

You've been busy! Running, plotting, drywalling, dove hunting...whew! Good stuff. Just out of curiosity, what's the grocery store plot mix going for per pound? Everything looks great.

Great pictures and what a place for those boys.....including you
