When I had garden going, I had one jalapeno. It was one slot of a six pack of sweet peppers. Hmmmm. Didnt know until plants began producing and there it was.
I have to say, production was way, way more than sweets! That little plant was like it was in high gear. Next year I may actually plan to plant a couple.
This morning is going slow. It's a crisp 55 out there....mid 60 inside. Brrrr. Was sunny an now light overcast...low 70s coming, they say.
I walked the fields I burned last week. As hoped, the seed was rained into bare ground and things are sprouting!! The fields are closed off from animals and if weather stays stable as now, should get some root base going. Current growth is helping shelter new stuff. I will add more seed just before the next rain coming. Winter wheat -- it grows in the cool temps. Things still growing in other fields so not haying yet. Checked out the carport area I had those bucklings clearing last month and can say "great job!!". I will dig out some vine root, add fence & tarps onto sides and can get at least 12 rolls in there. I'll need to go get some pallets for setting them onto. Prefer squares for feeding and may go that route still -- looking at both cost and handling. Will use some of each...I have other hay storage.
With this I'm looking at adding a hay feeder on my side of the goat barn. It's a big building with goats having half on their pasture side and I have half on my side for equipment drive in. The divider is like a 4 rail fence, all 2x6 boards. Big 6x6 posts as it's the mid line of an a-frame bldg. So I'm going to add hay holder rack on my side and they can eat from their side, between boards.
. I can have the hay stored in center of my side and still plenty of room for equipment to right and left. Presto! Inside feeding, no rushing by animals and can be 32 foot long! Why didn't I do this years ago??
. I've always just thrown it in. This will save some waste.
I bet a lot of us could reconsider use and adapting what we already have.
