We haven't reported on anthing very much because there wasn't anything to report.
We are looking forward to next week. Vern and Jo are coming on Wednesday. Jo is getting a perm on Thursday. Larry, Joyce, John andCasey are expectected on Saturday. Then on Monday everybody leaves.
Our chief concern has been --- are you ready? Bermuda grass. In the campaign to get something to grow in the field north of the house, it seems that just keeping the weeds cut has not resulted in any usable hay. So the weeds were sprayed, then disked under, seeded to Bermuda, then packed. Nothing happened. The county agent found a little new growth and suggested fertilizer, continued weed cutting and prayers for rain.
The fertilizer was applied professionally at the rate of 100 lbs. per acre. Then Bill went over it again to cut weeds --- and we got about 4 inches of rain last week. He is going to start weed cutting again. He has been over that field so many times that the tractor should navigate it all by itself!
Bermuda grows prolifically around the house, especially in the flower beds. Why won't it grow in that field?
