What's new?

Stretching fence. Had to buy more. Apparently, the pasture is over 1/3 mile around... Should finish this weekend.

Also planted about 400' of peanut, 100' of watermelon, about 200' of summer squash and acorn squash. 200# or so of mixed fescue/perennial rye/berseem clover. Some light gardening. Still have to prepare one bed. A bit of mowing, to ensure i have easy access to the asparagus. 6 of the 9 plants I put in two years ago are doing great. Last year's plantings (about 15) haven't crowned yet. I think that's lack of mowing last year, plus the rapidly growing pine trees I need to cut down - not enough sun. Fixing that in a couple weeks. The fence HAS to be done first.

So, nothing??? Oh, and bought three new turkeys. One promptly drowned in its water bowl overnight, so I have 2 new turkeys (and a turkey hen sitting a clutch).

But yeah, mostly nothing.

I sure wish I could grow peanuts here! The amount of peanut butter I make and eat...

Asparagus...

I bet toum would be great on asparagus. Or asparagus would be great with some toum. One or the other, for sure.

You aren't wrong.

You aren't wrong.

Do you know this from experience?

Asparagus is weeks away here. Fresh garlic is months away. Sigh.
