and since I've never learned how to post multiple pics.. here is the same plot 14 days later.


the green in this pic is 90% what we planted (except the large trees in the background).  the process..

1. spray
2. mow
3. spray
4 2 wheelers dragging the snot out of it.
5 toss some seed
6 drag again lightly
7 wheeler towing a compacting drum


this was the last plot we seeded.. so it got all that was left. 50% rape/25% white clover /25% turnip.

here is another plot that we call the orchard. not sure if 4 apple trees constitutes an orchard. but in our minds some day we'll be harvesting the fruits of this effort.

there are 4 apple trees in this picture. they are caged off for their own protection. this is a bean and radish mix (maybe some turnip) in this area. and just next too it is a clover patch.  we're trying new things this year. turnips grow good. but they are usually gone by deer season and I would like a nice mix to bring in the deer.

Very nice.  Lots of hard work(fun) right there.
