OK, since we are on the eve of our 5th annual Springfest the focus has not been exclusively on getting seeds into the ground. Today we had tree plantings from Landscape Enterprises. I had the pleasure of driving my mom back to Gettysburg to my sister Barbs, and tractor problems continue to cause headaches. I am lusting for a new Kubota 7040 but for some strange reason I am getting pushback from some of the other decision makers.
I did get a chance to help Josh sink 10 posts for our deer fencing but that was about it. With the tractor on the fritz and the day waning away we opted to finish the day at Southern States, (my new favorite store) to pick up some buckwheat, lime and a replacement post because I broke one because I was too lazy to get off the tractor and pull it away from the fork lift and tried to shake it off and snapped it in two. Good thing the post was only 9 bucks. It is so weird that I am excited to buy this stuff. By the way for those of you not in the know' the buckwheat is going to serve as a cover crop to help introduce more nutrients into the soil. Dang I am getting smarter by the day.
I met with Rebecca from the USDA to go over our application for a high tunnel grant and was told we should know if we will be eligible for a contract within a month. Hopefully we will be putting up the high tunnel during the first few weeks of summer camp. Oh yes our campers are absolutely going to know what is going on behind the tent locker rooms.
So what is Josh going to be demonstrating at Springfest? Not quite sure but we at Bar-T are experts at winging it and looking good while we do.
