That first rabbit resembles Hay Maker on a Sunday morning. :lol:
Soapweed said:Everything looks good, R A. You are lucky you have some hay to put up. Many ranchers aren't even going to get their haying equipment out this summer unless things change rapidly.

gcreekrch said:There are 2 bays in your photos that would make a nice light team to feed your cattle with. :wink:
Find someone that has a set of harness hanging in a barn and start another learning procedure.

Faster horses said:You are showing the best windrows I've seen all season!
We got 320 bales total and 288 came of a CRP field that came out last
fall. Had a lot of 'old stuff' in it, but did have some nice fine stuff too.
It was better than we thought as far as quality, but we will forage
test it.
Then we did the 'cut here and there' to
get some horse hay. Our swather broke down after cutting two bales
worth :roll: and no one around here has parts for a Hesston swather.
Luckily, the young fella that leases our place got his dad to come
over with his swather (since they weren't using it ) and cut
this little bit (all) we had. And life goes on.............thank God for
good neighbors.
Those firecracker pictures are just plain amazing!
Thanks for sharing.

Faster horses said:Say, RA, I have a question. You have pictured on this thread, 2 kinds
of squash. I planted "various varieties" of squash from one seed packet.
I have some that look like the round green one with stripes. What kind
of squash are those? I'm sure these all are summer squash. I've got
some Patty Pans and Zuccinni but I don't know what this variety is.
Thanks for your reply.

The round green thing on still on the vine is a little watermelon. The squash I planted is - straightneck early yellow - squash. I started in picking the squash too late. I've fixed that and pick them earlier now. I've gotten a pile of squash so far. I have to part the squash I've picked to get to the computer or find the tv remote. :shock: My zuccinni has struggled....haven't gotten a one yet. This being my first gardening experience, I've learned a lot and have made a ton of mistakes! ...can't wait until next year.

A watermelon???? I tried growing watermelon one year. The neighbor gal
insisted the first one was ready to pick. I didn't think so......but I let her
talk me into picking it. That thing wasn't hardly red inside.
Well, this year I bought a packet of varied squash, so now I'll have a watermelon, if nothing further happens to my garden. :?
I put it in a stocktank. Everything came up and looked good. The wind
really blew most of the time. I think it blew the leaves off the green
beans. I put the tomato plants out and that night it got to 27 degrees. It really got the tomato plants, so I jerked a couple out and threw them away,
but I left a couple in to see what they would do and they came out of
it and was looking really good. I had bought a few more tomato plants
and replanted them, plus one yellow pepper plant that had blossoms on
it already. I was watering the garden out of the house with RO water as our
regular water is fairly salty. I guess Mr. FH didn't think I was watering
it enough so he took over. He's famous for opening gates and forgetting
about them..............until he sees the cows are out, :shock: or the horses are out :shock:...........well, with the garden, he put the hose onto the garden and went off and FORGOT about it, :shock: til he remembered.........by then the
big RO holding tank was empty; the garden was flooded and it had
even pushed the side of the tank out, where the seam runs!!!! It was
a mess. Well, we just left it (what else could we do???) Most of
it has come out of it, but the tomato plant with the most tomatoes on
it, is all brown. Oh, the tomatoes are green, but the plant is brown.
Poor thing.
I may not try this again. It just reminds me of why I haven't had a
garden for years in this country.
Oh, that nice pepper plant? It's history. :wink: :shock:

That is a close second to Hay Maker's pack-rat story! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
How many bones does Mr. FH have broken? :shock:
Debbie wants to know if he still has a side of the bed to sleep on or if it's a mat on the doorstep? :lol:
