What are you seeding? You can message me details if you want. I’m genuinely curious
Just be safe out there, but you should be fine. Your hands will get nicked here and there. I played hockey for 22 years and I have more scars on my hands from working on equipment than anything.
Check out this show!

How bout an update??
8 years ago i heard a loud/thump bang on the hood of my car. It was an avocado. All these years i have been parking under an avocado tree. I took a few from the ground and planted them back hime. Last week i noticed i have one tiny avocado the size of a golf ball. Not a farmer but i do have limes, lemons, apples, oranges, peaches, pears, plums, tangelo, passionfruit, and one avocado tree.
@tacpmurg , Mr Jeremy Clarkson would be well impressed by your work there 🙋♀️😁🤗
Forget Jeremy Clarkson, I’m impressed. Mad respect for farmers. It is tough, tough work. I had an uncle with a farm in Mississippi and he was perpetually tired it seemed.
Absolutely 💯 with @TheFunCartel . RESPECT and warm appreciation to all 🚜 farmers. Without them we d not be able to have food.
They work often 7 days a week, unsociable hours to feed us, and after their hard work, the wrong type of weather: crop can be wasted, or an illness / infection can kill some / many or all of their animals 😢
For all farmers out there: Thanking You for not giving up 🌄🫂🧡
Thats so impressive andas a gardener focused on natives ... i love that you are setting aside that much land for pollinating plants! I love that you're working with your existing resources and not giving up at the 10th obstacle
This is such a saga. I’m invested. Thanks for sharing! I get anxious when I have to do handy stuff and I’m alone, but I always get a mini high if I power through it. You did the thing!

Well not much to tell atm. Lets seeee...
As for next year? Next projects im targeting fruit trees and tulips! Tulip field is hopefully gonna be 25 by 50 meter. Gonna be one giant expensive mistake if they dont take haha.. but ill be digging trenches and stuff for them next year and buying the bulbs to plant near the end of the year.
If you havent noticed im a very bad farmer... just doing whatever I feel like. But I figure I have a lot of life to live and time to figure it out. Benefits of it being my side thing not my main occupation.
Diesel prices are nuts, what’s your storage situation? We kept a couple tanks on site with diesel, including the tax free red dye blend. It’s cheaper to contract and buy in bulk, but I assume you’re aware of that already.
How much snow do you have to push? I remember having a JD front loader with backhoe to move snow, I should have just put a snow blade on the gas 4x4 truck and saved myself the time and diesel. It’s so much faster and efficient to do it that way.
After a major storm, I’d spend hours moving snow because of the small bucket and I’d have to add anti gel to the diesel tank plus a plug in engine block heater. I had to have it outside, on standby because I’d never be able to get the 90’x60’ shed doors open in the event of a winter storm. It frequently was below zero (upper Midwest) so, constant vigilance and frequent starts were necessary to keep the engine warm, filters free of ice etc. I don’t miss it at all. That would cost $$$ today with diesel being outrageously expensive.
I know nothing about growing tulips, other than that early spring is a big time for them! Looking at your previous posts, it looks like you have a sway bar alignment issue, did that get rectified?
