Ok I have been feeling well enough to play in the fields LOL. We still have 60 acres of hay to cut and bale but we have been busy on that for a few weeks. Finally hit a nice dry spell - other than the dang heat, its been close to 100 all week and the hay really dries over night but we still give it half a day to make sure its good and dry but still holding its leaves. The tractor I use has AC so Im ok. I cut and baled just over 20 acres of hay that is called my hay LOL. I turned it all into small bales (had a buyer wanting them) and ended up with just over 100 I called earlier and was told he picked them up last night. Not sure how much the others have baled, as their was mostly off the farm on leased land. This weekend we are going to over seed a field with for silage for the dairy. So for now I am active once again and remain so unless I mess up with the dialysis.
The garden out there is doing ok but my bucket garden at the house is going nuts this year. Been eating cherry maters for 3 weeks now and the peas and beans are a close second. Peppers are finally coming along, the cool weather slowed them down at the beginning but now they are blooming and a few even have tiny peppers on them. Collards are nice and big but only have 5 plants - I can only have 1/2 cup at a time now so I grew just enough for us. The salad barrel is full too I just mixed everything that goes in salad and it seems to grow fine. Thought I hurt the strawberries by over fertilizing them but nope I am getting some monsters now. Once i get the picture moved from the phone to pc I will post it on here. Just came in and got to pick 2 large beef steak maters - wife saw them and proclaimed we are having BLTs for supper - my bacon will be turkey but its still a BLT LOL.
Ok got to buns in gear already been called by my small assistant, she cant go fishing until I get there LOL. Yesterday the sun let you know it was out if you stayed in it long but the shade was ok to set in. What little I was in the sun the past 2 day my arms are turning brown already LOL. Granny has already mounted me so you dont need to remind me of the dangers LOL.
