Texas Fall/Winter thread!

We got right at 6 inches of rain since Sat. night. My duck/island pond went over the spillway about 6 inches deep after I took this photo of the ducks playing in the drain culvert's white water. They were floating down the culvert catching baby crawdads and riding the whitewater out like we go tubin'.

Two inches total yesterday and .6 the day before. Ground is slick and muddy. Hoping that it will dry out in the next few days. We hired a company to grub the mesquite in our pastures, and the cannot finish until we're dried out.

What are they using to grub the mesquite out and how much do they charge an acre?

3" here in two days.

I keep telling the locals around here, that I won't complain about the rain until our local lake is full.
Right now cedar creek is under 2 feet low, as compared to 7 feet a little over 2 months ago.

We are using Cedar Eaters. They are using a device called a "root n all" and skid steer on tracks. They have a grubber attachment that replaces the root n all that they are using for clean up. They are charging $125 per hour.

I sprayed a mixture of remedy and something else on some of our mesquite last summer. Curious to see what comes up this year. It looked like a pretty good kill rate. Heard that Sendero is the new in thing for spraying mesquite.

And here's a question. Since I have a sack of ryegrass seed left over from last fall, will it still be good and germinate this coming fall? Not that our pastures did good this past year. Worst ryegrass stand have had.

Should have time left for it to come up,was a lot of weevils in mine from last year but like yours our rye isn't doing much maybe it will come on this week when sun starts coming out.

Can't figure out why it didn't do good this year. It's not like we didn't get enough rain.

Wet it is .. I've not followed the rain gauge .. I just know my history getting stuck!! I'm trying real hard not to do that!!

Ground hog feed yesterday and places I drive to fill the hog feeders are getting bad .. Sunshine!!!

Wheat is slow this year.

Maybe bad seed. ?? Mine came up good that I planted in the fall where I removed some mesquite and cut down an embankment. This pic was taken last week.

I put the old out and 2tons of stuff bought this year,I just don't think had enough sun yet for it to do anything,I know lack of moisture hasn't been the issue.
