Ummm Bay, I was looking at the pasture #1 picture and I see a few pieces you missed... :duc:hide:gig Glad you got the rain and were able to get that burn pile taken care of. Hey, haven't heard anything lately on your hogs... How are they doing?

There is still limbs on the ground, but they have been there a long time and are mostly rotten. The NEW stuff we cut is gone! LOL

The hogs have a July 11 date with the pork chop maker. They are on a diet of soured corn now until they go to slaughter. No more pellets. They are looking good! I can't wait to try Hereford Hog pork!

If you didn't treat the stumps right after cutting, the cedars will return...with a vengeance. Cut one, 6 (or more) will come to it's funeral. btdt.

None of any cedars that we have cut have sprouted back out. But the Black Jack oaks NEVER die!

The Bermuda in Pasture #2 is tall, has runners spreading and is looking good. Some of the chicory I planted survived and is blooming, which means it will set seed and hopefully, grow some more plants. The watermelon vines took off and are loaded with at least 2 different types of watermelons. We picked one yesterday, it's chilling in the refrigerator, we'll cut it today.

I'll get updated pics today and post them!

Watermelon vines, there must be 30 ph them! Yeah, I know, they aren’t grass, but that spot was bare anyway.

Grass is sending out runners.
