Plowing, fencing

And other stuff too. Working on some of my chemistry and materials experiments on the side. But mostly just the plowing and fencing. Only one more length of wire and 4 gates to build and the big deer fence will finally be finished.

Supposed to rain tomorrow. Might be nice to have a lazy Sunday, but even then I'll be busy with projects, clean-up and etc.

The last field plowed up real nice. We hung a pallet and some chain-link fence under a pipe sticking out the side of the plow and it did a world of good smoothing off the soil. About half that field, 96' by 300' or so, is ready to be planted now. Will probably push in lettuce, cabbage, bean and pea seeds for starters and/or stab in a bunch of 288 plugs of lettuce, broccoli, and assorted stuff dad sprouted in the little greenhouse. Also hope to try for early cukes, squash and melons as an alternative to taking a weekend at Reno. May even gamble an early row of tomatoes.

Wishing you a smooth weekend.

ey this is nice. I'm into farming also. I'm from the Philippines though. I'll check your blog from time to time.

Keep it up. I just chanced upon your blog. But it's kind of interesting to read. Keep it up.
