We beat the rain and got our fields seeded down with grass seed and oats. Hoping to have a good crop. Next comes rock pickin time. The most dreaded time of year. And we have an excellant crop of rocks this year.
Michele- I wish we were closer I would love to help pick rocks. I have been asking some farmers that I know if my daughters could come pick rocks and keep some for our garden borders. I can't find anyone who would let us keep some. I'm glad you beat the rain and got the fields seeded down. Have a great evening! xoxo- Lori
WE had rain and snow on May 16. Gosh it was a cold weekend. We were able to pick a 4 acre field. Total picking time spent on that one field was 7 hours. We had 4 hours of using a bucket on the really big ones. Hopefully this Sat. we are picking on a bigger field. We are trying to round up as much help as possible. Paying 5 dollars an hour and a meal. I know, not much, but if we were rich we would have the equipment to get the job done. :)
beat the rain......
