I am behind the power curve because of all the rain we have had. I didn't even get a chance to spray my peach tree because it would rain every few days.

The sweet corn I planted in the kiddie pool is between knee and waist high. It's dry here, so it's loving the soaker hoses.

We had folks hunting on the land until Mamma died a couple of three years ago. Not a fan of having anyone on my land. Right now all the roads on the pond 40 are impassible. I'm going to ask my neighbor if I can use his road to bring in any supplies for my camp, and not clear the old roads. At least not out to the hard top. Make it as hard as possible for trespassers.

We used to run hogs on the land when I was a kid. But the fencing would cost more than it would be worth. We have a small piece of adjoining land that we ask about joining with the pond land for tax purposes. You have to have 10 acres to claim ag exemptions. The lady ran the numbers, and said the most I would save would be 30 bucks an acre. So if we did lose the exemption on the pond, it would be $1200 more.

But the good news is I remembered that she said the review was only for land that had changed hands. So the pond land {and the piece I traded to Sister} would be the only one effected.

Today was the last day for debris out to the road. I got all the compressed wood out of the shed and to the road. Did 15-20 pine trees from behind the house and a few oaks down by the edge of the rough where I used to park all the farm equipment.. Turned the boxblade over pulling one out.

It's in the fucking ground now...lol. Finished my tilling for this spring, put some zucchini seeds in starter pots. Ran the drip hose for the aforementioned corn, and to the raspberries. Need to cull the peaches soon. Almost to the point that I can just turn on the water and watch stuff grow, unfortunately that will mean weeds also. Speaking of which I need to pull a bunch of those in the numerous flower gardens.

When I get a section of the pines cleared, I'm raking the pinestraw and mulching the garden with it. Need to get a few loads ready, or I will be behind the 8 ball.

I thought mulching with that raises the acidity of the soil, don't quote me on that though. Edit: It only does a minor amount, not enough to make a difference. The terpenes inhibit seed growth, but only from new needles that still smell like pine, and that is water soluble so it washes away.

Yep, it does have some small effect. I have used hay, but had a bad roach problem because of it. The pinestraw breaks down fast. What I used on the cukes last year is completely broken down already. You can rub it between your hands and it's like dust.

I'm going to use it on the fruit trees too. The dry weather and my lack of watering time is kicking their ass right now.

finished a long day of work very tired didn't sleep until 1-2am yesterday and i worked last night as well. came home to some bad news but also good news as well.

car is officially totaled, wasn't paid off no idea wth my dad wrote on the calendar cause it says it was paid off. so now we basically waiting for the money if any to come in. other news is i need to return the rental on may 7th. i mean this is all bad news in general but also good news because now we can move forward and decide what we are going to do. i think we are going to just wait for the money to come in and then purchase a new car and start paying it off already.

my other options are to basically buy a used car, buy a moped possibly idk if my fat ass can go at a decent speed but work is fairly far from my house i'd need to be going 30mph at the very least. it's an option though so at least i can get around. until i can purchase a car which shouldn't be very long maybe by the end of this year i can do it on my own.

i think my sister is going to let me use her car idk either way i need to know if i got a ride to and from work so i can figure out what im going to be doing but my family doesn't wanna talk about it so it's all last minute shit. thats why it's stressful. buying a moped/scooter will save me a lot of time catching the bus if i take the roadway it's still only about a 20minute ride at 30mph

started to save up my kitchen scraps for my worm bin i haven't fed them in a while as i fed them a lot last week. kept the scraps in the freezer to draw out moisture more easily and decompose it faster as well. hopefully i can seed the bin with only 4 worms. tomorrow got to water my sunflowers i haven't checked on um for 2 days now so idk what the hell to expect. probably on there 4th set of true leaves by now.
