A Turkey In The Hay 🦃

[Beachwalker]

First time ever using ground covers,
do I like them ?

Let me put it this way, my weeder hasn't been off the nail ALL YEAR

This is the greatest thing since sliced bread!!! This old dog learned a new trick

Porcupine Under The Lights!

I saw the cat watching something, I've seen it several times out by the woodpile, he uses the flood lights to find things to eat

The head was to the left by the way yes, I know it's a terrible picture I had a few more but this was the best. Not too bad for 4am

This is a small one earlier this year I saw one across the street that I would guess was 25 or 30 lb but it might have been the fluffed up needles that made it look so big I have a picture somewhere

95° today through Wednesday, then Thursday summer ends. Same as the last three Summers I've been here. I'll be taking my AC out of the window this weekend, get that beautiful Breeze coming down the field

A few hundred miles north of Boston makes a big difference! Our Springs are two weeks later, and our Falls are two or three weeks earlier, far as I can tell

We have unbelievably beautiful falls here!

Contractors cutting the Hay in 100° heat!

[Beachwalker]

So my White Rhino seeds have been in Maine for 4 days now, they were supposed to come Monday, now they're supposed to come today but if they'll ever get here who the hell knows?

And what condition will they be in after two 100° days?

They went from Southern Maine to Eastern Maine, I'm in north central so fuck me I guess

 

[Beachwalker]

This is the attachment that puts the hay in long rows, the yellow rake blades spin

 

[Beachwalker]

The deer were freaking out this morning they usually munch their way from one end of the field to the other but they didn't know what to do this morning in the cut hay

 

[Beachwalker]

So I did get the seeds they only stayed in the mailbox a minute or two as I saw him deliver them but they traveled around my state for 4 days in 100° weather so I'm not happy about that, hopefully they weren't out in a truck in the sun, I'll find out I guess cuz I'm cracking em' tomorrow

WHITE RHINO GROW
(GREEN HOUSE SEEDS)

4 Seeds wet at 3:30pm, August 14th

 

[Beachwalker]

So this is happening right now in front of the house

Apparently the pickup hit a tree about a half mile down the road

He fled the scene and they caught him where you see the two police cars, about a hundred yards up from my driveway

The tow truck driver filled me in on all the info, and his mother and stepfather pulled up and were telling me that he's got a drug and alcohol problem

so that might be why he took off running, and probably why he hit the tree in the first place

At least no one was seriously injured

 

[Beachwalker]

All four White Rhino's from Green House Seeds cracked in under 24 hours! very impressed Greenhouse! I ran it for several years a while ago, glad to have it again!

 

[Beachwalker]

They're in the Pro mix w/ 78° bottom heat, nice healthy looking tails!

The rate these are growing they'll be up tomorrow, I'll be flowering by Sunday and trimming next week!

 

[Beachwalker]

Three of four White Rhino's are up already, wow talk about nice fresh seeds!

 

[Beachwalker]

Pretty sure I see the fourth one starting to come up but it doesn't look normal, not a problem though

These went from the wet paper towel to above the soil in less than 72 hours so if this one is aberrant in any way I'll just start the remaining seed, it will catch up in no time

Looking forward to these, I wanted to start with WR two runs ago, I should have

 

[Beachwalker]

Last one is fighting to get her shell off, she'll get there, there's plenty of green showing and I'm keeping her spritzed every now and then to keep it pliable

 

[Beachwalker]

She's still wearing her shell but she's turned up towards the light. This is a good exercise in leaving things the hell alone LOL I've done pretty well taking their shells off when necessary (I've also decapitated one or two) but this was one that doesn't need to be touched.

Thinking about brewing up a double espresso and then getting that heavy, old school air conditioner the hell out the window! It was 41° last night and with an air conditioner in it's like having the window open

Fourth year in a row I had it out around the middle of August, we're two or three weeks behind Boston in the spring, and ahead of Boston in the fall up here

I've decapitated a few myself being the eager beaver, you are right, they are usually better left alone. Idk why but I'm always shocked when i get too busy with life and forget to check on them for days and when i look they are thriving!

 

[Beachwalker]

Well the shell's off and she's doing well and I got the damn air conditioner out of the window too it'll sit here for a few days, the cat is cozied up against it having a nap right now, cats sleep in the weirdest places! I'll take it out to the garage by this weekend it's a big son of a gun so I have to two-wheel it
