Last Twenty bales of the 55 bales to go on the roadway and waterway.

Looking from left top corner to top right corner. Finally the road ways, greas strips and waterways have been planted with grass and wheat and finally strawed. Watering is the key now since we have been in somewhat of a drought this month. We have only had one short 10 minute shower during the last four weeks.

I planted grass around the saved rock where the rocks were placed that came out of thr garden to help prevent erosion.

Bottom right hand corner of garden. If you look closely you can see the sprinkler running as of 5:30 PM est on
SEPT. 19TH, 2005

We'll see how long it takes to get the grass and wheat growing.

 

[Jim57]

You can see the waterway here from the right top side. It is pretty wide but I may be able to narrow it later. This is the time to plant grass so if it is too wide I can always plow some of it under.

I have finally completed the strawing process. Since the weather is hot and nice, I will probably plant some radishes and the Kale. I think they will still make. You can also see a plum tree here in the left side of this picture that will be pruned this fall. I think it will bear good next year.
