Sewing #beans from starts into a field mulched with cardboard and rotted straw. No weeds, #nodig.
We finally had a #rainday and I got busy hafting axes for our upcoming #timberframe work days. This is a too-long ash handle on a #broadaxe. It is curved to keep your knuckles from getting "barked" on the timber being dressed. That's the origin of the verb (which isn't used much anymore, I know). The long handle is to let the user stand on top and swing down, rather than crouch and clean sideways.
As part of an ongoing #no-till #wheat growing experiment, I took a look at our four planting densities today. From left to right it is 8.5 lb/ac, 43 lb/ac, 85 lb/ac, and 43 lb/ac but more spread out. The first 43 lb/ac section has most tillers and is tied for fewest weeds with 85 lb/ac.
Last year's winter wheat is looking strong this spring!
I'm laying cardboard to mulch my #potaotes and I looked over to see my little assistant starting on the next patch.
Release the #queenbee! A few days after installing 3-lb bee packages, we release the queen from here travel cage. By now, the hive has accepted her as their regent.
