Congratulations Marc

Graduation Ridgetown Ag program

we went to Ridgetown to celebrate

took a picture of the originals

as Marc called us

and a picture by the sign

Mulch

Rien got a load of manure mixed mulch

just enough for all the flowerbeds

It really doesn't take that long

nice to have the gator

last load, we're done

Bird Feeder

we get visited a lot

all kinds of colour birds

even a blue one

This picture has 4 different birds

Finally Seed in the ground

Checking if we may be able to plant

the field for new seeding was dry enough 

this spot is wet enough but most of the field was okay

this is a soybean field

It's a go

Matt arrives

1 bin soybeans, the other grass alfalfa mix 

first fix the GPS

the machine shows what kind of season it has been

lots of mudding around

first seeds are planted

it's quite the train

after the new seeding, the soybeans were planted

2 out of 4 crops planted

the Spring Wheat and Corn still have to go in

and it's raining again today

Evening rounds

On our way, with the gator

cows enjoying pasture

checking on our trees

most of them are alive

they had lots of water

Late

Nature is late

These are blossoms from one of our apple trees

we're also late with spreading manure

but the pit is empty now

feels good, next up; planting

Nutrients to the field

not super dry

but this year you just have to do it

when you can, more rain in the forecast

sure would like to plant soon

Syrian lunch

making a rose from a tomato 

Tabbouli

These big beans tasted very good

variety

It was fun and delicious

Baklava as dessert

it used to be the dessert for the king

Wine

We bottled wine 

We found a kind we like

and it's fun doing it together
