American plums?

Not sure. An old tree in the yard of the house I bought at the farm. They good though!

You can't beat good ole American persimmon. Drops at perfect time of year.

Durana clover field on 10-1-20.

 

[lakngolf]

WOW, that clover looks great. How many years for this crop?
Makes me want to order a sack

 

[THE LLC]

That has been in place six years. I have learned a ton on managing it through heat and droughts.

 

[Heart shot]

What are your secrets on that Durana clover?

 

[THE LLC]

Not screwing around with it in hot, dry weather. In the past I have sprayed the wild ryegrass that comes up in the winter hoping to get rid of it--which I never have. Durana is the only thing I know of that seems to thrive with wild ryegrass. So this year I just let it be so that the dead ryegrass would serve has kind of a mulch to retain moisture in the hot times. Worked awesome. And, as you can see, most all of it has rotted down now. So, my lesson learned is just leave it alone--at least until it starts growing good again once it cools down. Then I could mow it a little I guess, but I'm just gonna let it be.

If you've never tried it, Try Cooking an Apple on a Stick Over a Fire like you would a Hot Dog or Marshmellow.

As a Kid at a Church Weiner Roast, me and a cousin grabbed a couple of Apples off of the Tree that grew there. After we cooked one, and everyone got a taste, we couldn't cook them fast enough for the demand.

I have found several on our Property. I have plans to get a couple of stands set up near them. I have a few I can see from stands that I already have set up.

That sounds good. Like a grilled apple I imagine.

Hmm... Sounds like a winner at the coming fall campout. I'll take the credit if you don't mind...

Love the way you have everything laid out at your place. Orchard trees lining your plots and great looking plots if it looks like it did when I visited. Prolly even better now. Good luck getting any up n comer bucks through the 3 month long firearms season here that is underway.

 

[THE LLC]

Yeah, I'm not putting any money on that. One thing I don't understand is out in Nebraska, you can have a 40 acre parcel that no hunting is allowed on and bucks won't leave it. For nothing in gun season. Matter of fact, every nice buck within 5 miles will go there. Yet I have 200 acres here where they're safe and they won't stay on it. For nothing.
