Well I did not get much time this weekend to tend to the plots, but did get two fall plot areas sprayed and a perennial plot of chicory and clover fertilized.
All loaded up for the long mile climb back to the “camp plot”.
How the camp plot looked. A second year plot and truthfully year 1 was a bit of a failure due to a very dry August at 1850 feet in altitude on a downward slope….hoping this year the winter wheat /brassica mix from Hilltop seeds takes hold and gets rain in 2009.
Second stop was the “Ridgeline plot”…one of my favorites. Just a long logtrail that runs the the rim of the ridge (only aa section of it here). Right now I just plant the log trail itself, but the second pic is an area at the end of the log trail I keep thinking I should add to it…would give it a golf club like look in shape. Love the view from there, good slow day treestand scenery.
Spraying done I moved onto the fertilizing….I actually spread some 6-24-24 on all my small clover plots today but only pulled the camera out at the pasture plot, when I got a reminder that this ain’t all about deer.
The pasture plot as of today, clover and chicory…might get mowed once more this year…about it.
