4/30
ETA: I fixed the goofed up dates… what happens when I’m trying to catch-up…. which is constantly!
The plan was “I’m going to start planting on Monday (4/25).” But Saturday… and it seemed all was ready for the planter and the monitors and the tractor so…. out he went! Yeah!!
Monday & Tuesday (April 25 & 26) were full of issues with this and that but… he said on Tuesday, “God is good.” So we plant as we are able. Wednesday he pushed hard but the rain became enough in the early evening that we were done. And have been out since then. The rain continued to increase and we had nearly 2″ just on Saturday (4/30)!! I think some cats & dogs rained down as well! At this point, maybe this Weds or Thursday he’ll get back to planting.
The first field he did was here along the lane so I rode along for a bit. (He hates selfies but look how accommodating he is getting!) And of course, new additions to the planter and a new monitor to figure out and at the end, he laments why he does a field along the highway first! (where others then see if he misses spots!)
Before he started last Saturday, I helped him set the monitors to sync with the GPS to go with the planter & tractor measurements. Mostly I sit in the cab, punch in numbers, and coach his measuring.
The dog just continues being a dog. She loves to roll in this dirt!!!
and sew on...
