GREETINGS
Rain on the fourth but a beautiful day today. I must say the nights have been perfect for sleeping. I checked my tomatoes yesterday and noticed two of the were wilting, they were completely severed, couldn’t find the worm but put DE around the rest of the tomatoes. I have 4 more to plant and will plant them inside of tin cans for protection.
WEATHER AND HAY
Some farmers have not even made a first cutting of hay. Both farmers that I buy my hay from say that this will be a very bad year. One farmer told me that some farmers are keeping back their hay and offering it when there is not much around hoping to make more money. I am buying it as I can hoping to be able to stock pile some for winter. I will inquire about supplementing with grains and what would be best for my sheep. It’s a scary situation and I am sure many animals will be going to auction this year Too bad.
THE PARADE
It did rain on our parade yesterday but we still enjoyed it. The kids got lots of candy thrown out of firetrucks and antique cars.
