Biodiverse Polyculture (USDA 8a Zone Pasture) - sounds better than "My Acres of Weeds"

Looks like almost an inch of rain overnight, that should help. Also looks like we are approaching our last freeze/near freeze cycle of the season. Hopeful to put down seed in 2 1/2 - 3 weeks.

Oh, ALSO saw my first bit of Scribner's Panic Grass this am. Was worried I had lost it all, I'm very fond of how well the stuff has done for me, when so much else... didn't.

Winter is not through with us yet. Forecast here is calling for a possibility of winter precip mid week.
I am very tired of this winter. Nothing like last year.

Now it is 70f and a strong line of thunderstorms are approaching. Wind is howling. Cold is coming.

Happy to hear this!

ETA My crocus are blooming! Good sign!

We are at 58 currently - high of the day. Near freezing tonight, near freezing tommorow night, 40, then just sub freezing Weds and Thurs.

then it looks like a week of lows of barely to almost 50s for overnights. On schedule to seed around Mar 1.

Oh, spotted a second clover. I have both white clover and subterranean clover coming back!

While I'm envious of the warm temperatures, I'd be freaking out if we started getting them. I'd know it was just a tease. The plants might not.

I still recall 2012 when we had 80s in March. Some of the kids I worked with thought the weather was great. They gave me blank looks when I told them that a lot of fruit farmers were going to lose their crops (and they did).

"Ok, so we'll get apples from Washington state," said one.

Glad to hear it!

That is all

 

[Sally PB]

I see a fair amount of green.

I'll put it this way. If that were an area of my heavy soil garden, which is flat, I'd be thinking, "I need to weed out this stuff before it gets out of hand and takes control."

 

[U_Stormcrow]

Yeah between the fertilizer and the lime things are coming back much faster than I thought they would. Apparently flipping over all the soil with the tractor has revealed a couple of seats some few of which have sprouted

 

[U_Stormcrow]

Spring Greening!

 

[Sally PB]

Nice! Is it stuff you've planted?
