35 degrees out now, zooming up to 64 in bright sunshine today. Next two days are warm, bet more Spring flowers start to pop out. I have bulb shoots coming up all over the place. Shhhhh, don't tell the deer....
After a doc appt the next town over, I'm back to plant about a hundred tulip and other bulbs, and then may overseed the nut orchard area. Both local rental places have broken overseeders, and the one from Land Pride, whoeeee, in the 5 to 6 grand range. Super nice piece of machinery but unless I grow something else to use that seeder for, like hay, which I have no equipment for, fancy piece of equipment would just sit. Makes no sense so I'm going to use my dinky little drop seeder which has a row of spikey wheels on it, which come before the seed, make the spikes useless but if I go over the whole place twice, once with seed and once empty, it seemed to work pretty well with the annual rye. Very soft soil so I think I can get away with this very low rent approach. My helper is getting a cultipacker of some sort next week and he said he would run it over the new seed. Bought 200 pounds of contractor's mix, 75% fescue. Think I'm going to put some weight in the empty seeder this time to help with penetration.
Monday, Monday
So good to me
Monday morning
It was all I hoped it would be
