Surviving Minnesota!

[Cebarmlds]

Morning everyone. Nothing here in the last week other then about 5 minutes of sprinkling rain.
We got the injectors finished yesterday, the pick up still made decent mileage into town and back. I think it averaged 23 which is about 1mpg down from previously. The added horsepower is impressive though, and kind of scary.
I set cochins eggs the other day and they should hatch on July 31. Is there a July 31?? Or Would it be August 1
Right now we're waiting for the fog to go down before we head out to put up hay. Tomorrow should be the last day of haying, we've made so little so far..

Yes July has a 31st that is my dogs birthday

Good luck with haying, still praying for you to get rain.

Oh yeah,,

Buy pineapples and bananas you will have a bumper crop.

Sweet! Off to buy seeds and get my hair cut. (Did anybody know this was a thing?)

Hey all... Weather was terrible last night... No tornadoes but strong wind... Collapsed buildings and trees all over... 1 1/8 inch of rain... The huge pines in my run all fell... Along with many other trees on the property...

Holm I hate to see these shade trees gone for your birds! Especially after the BO loss. Arg. Start planting some new young ones! Norway pines and Silver Maples grow fast.

The Mn. Banana Belt is not really ideally suited to the growing of bananas or pineapples, but it is more suited to the growing of coconut palms.
Holm I would suggest some shrubs in the run. They will grow faster than trees and provide shade as well as a hiding place from winged and other predators perhaps ?

It is quite cool near the big lake today. Forecast high temp of 60 which would be very acceptable in late October. It has also been misting or drizzling all day, and so it is very wet.

It's a gray drizzly sweatshirt day here too even away from Gichi-gammi.

Good idea Ed on the bushes.

Don't forget Ed...that the Banana Belt can grow stunner Cherry trees/harvests.

I am of the opinion that the outside reflects probably the inside...quite a bit. Fruit cups.

I am afraid my harvest is going to be a lot smaller than last years cherry harvest. I am thinking of taking up eating moonlite Venison, killed with crossbows...

What ? ? ? ? My banana and pineapple trees seem to grow as well as Ralphie's coconut trees. They all hurt when a piece of their fruit fall on you while laying under them drinking Henri's.

Rookie mistake lying under a banana or pineapple tree and sipping a Henri's...... Never lie under one of them, with the sudden unset hurricanes around here you never know when they will bop you on the noggin...

Well Thanks Ralphie! You have complained about the coconuts falling - my fruit has never falled - but . . . . there is always a first. Sorry - I just assumed.
May I 'assume' you are recovering?
