Blaster

Looks like more rain is coming.

Congrats on the great timing.

 

[Ghost]

Ya, I second the perfect timing.

Rain is everything planting this time of year.

 

[Jethro]

Congrats on getting it stuck in the ground. Shame on you though for breaking the man law and not taking/posting pics of the process.

 

[180class]

I agree, where are the pics you plot tease!

 

[Blaster]

Now Jethro you know i wouldn't do that to you guys!

Here is were the turnips got planted. This picture was before we re-disced the field.

Here is a small 1/4 acre plot we put into clover and buckforage oats for a cover crop.

Here is Ta spreading the clover on the 2 acre plot. This spot had a lot of tall grass. We got a kill on most but as you can see there was a little green left. But it looked pretty good after we ran the disc over it again and planted.

Here is a Southern Iowa harrow!

Hopefully i will have some green pictures that are not weeds in the next couple of weeks!

 

[Jethro]

I stand corrected. I should have known better. Looks good!

 

[Skully]

Good job Blaster! Those plots are going to look awesome in a few weeks. Does John Deere sell those harrows? I gotta get me one of those.

 

[doublerack]

That's a familiar sight. Never thought about using a pallet as a drag. Great idea!
Can't wait to see pics of the green coming up.

I can get you one cheep!

Hey look
it's raining on it as we speak!

 

[Daver]

A potential word of caution on the harrow... be careful you do not leave nails in your plot to later "find" with your tires. Otherwise, I love the ingenuity. BTW, I could tell it really wasn't a John Deere because it wasn't green.

If I had a picture I would post it of my new "cultipacker" I used this past weekend. Let's just say it looked a LOT like a big sled with stuff in it tied off behind the ATV!

Hey, it seemed to work!

Derek, Looks good! Congrats on the rain looks like you got some more last night. I did as well and have been hovering the radar for three days and it looks like every storm has missed us by just a few miles

.

Blaster,
You should have a great start on that lettuce.

We received 2-4 inches over the last 72 hours.
Looks like we might get some sun the rest of the week.
Please keep us posted on the progress.

 

[Central Iowa]

Just got a call that the rain is coming down! I was starting to wonder.

 

[Blaster]

We got another inch on it last night. Our clover is already coming up!

 

[TimberPig]

Just looked at the radar, I'll bet you got alot more rain again tonight!

Another inch last night! 4.24in since i planted. The good thing is it was not all at once. I should have good soil moister now!

 

[Blaster]

Well, i prayed for rain and i got it. Here is my clover patch!

The turnips look alright. They just need some sun now.

 

[doublerack]

Looking good. That's about how ours looks. Still needs to dry out a lot. We NEED sun!
