Growin hay

[the_jersey_lilly_2000]

This is a fairly common site around these parts(somethin growin out of a hay bale, usually is a weed or somethin tho) ...but these bales caught my eye. It somehow looks a lil different. don't think I've ever seen it do this and look quite this green. Or....maybe Im just so ready to see green it looks greener. ???

Bout the time I was takin these pictures a cold front blew in, and they were hunkerin up and headed for the brush to get outta the wind.

Our Hay Barley hay often grows like thiat if we have any left in the spring.. I think the Oat Hay did to a lesser extent but generally it was a lighter green.. Won't have any left over this year mind you but there are places here that have gone to self seeding where we fed some bales that had some rye in them..

Nothing really though to match the corn that volunteers around the grain bins or out in the pastures if we feed any.. They get planted with a bit over fertilizer when that happens, lol.

I think Lilly is using her photoshop program to make her grass look green, so those of us who have snow can see what green looks like..lol :lol: :lol: :lol: :wink:

Nothing messes with a Canadian's head like green grass in February.

I remember my first trip with bred heifers to Mississippi and seeing green grass starting in Misouri. Really messed with me for a while.

It was February and they had 6 inch tall grass and the seeders were rolling planting some fields. Made me really think about the differences we all have in climates.

Well it's a long shot from bein warm (to me) we are havin lows in the low 30s upper 20s..or so tonight. Really tho since it aint rainin, it's not that bad. Wind has a perdy good clip to it. But...after all the mud and yuck we've had..really makes us thankful for days like this..takes a lil wind to dry that mud up.

It looks like some ryegrass hay that was rolled with seeds in it that have sprouted.

It is all ove 8 out right now but for once the wind isn't blowing and the sun is shining or so bright to the point where I thought about taking a jacket off... Than I remember how cold it was and thought again.

24 tomorrow for a high, upper 30's much of next week with, gasp, chances of 40's...

Yes it's rye grass. But the hay field that it came off of is mostly johnson grass and coastal mixed. there is always some rye grass the first cuttin, we have some kind that comes back every year without planting it. Tryin to get ready to leave at 7pm this evenin, and we've got a fence down, and cows scattered from here to yon. Mr Lilly has been out there all day workin on it. Decided to just take the dozer and push the old fence up and build new instead of tryin to restring and straiten posts. It's where the water was up on the "outgoin" end of the creek.....n here all week we been workin on the "incomin" flood gates and have them lookin real good....just to go out this mornin and find 20 some cows out in a hayfield where they shouldna orta been. Uhggggggg lovelyyyyyyy.
I had to go with the Ag teacher to pick up the van that I"ll be drivin on our trips. So now that I got that done, I'm fissin to head out and see if I can be of any help buildin fence.
