Meatball Farming - An Update

Yesterday morning the girls and I went for our customary walk - nice and early.  It's been so damn hot lately the Labs return home with their tongues hanging a foot out of their mouths.

So, they recieve a ritual hosing-off, a walk around in their wading pool and chill out in the shade of the porch.

From there they're happy to absorb the world around them and watch me putzing in the garden.  Before too long they're out cold.

This is our routine.

Anyway - we checked on the food plot to see if progress has been made.  It's been horribly dry of late but we did get inches of rain recently a week or so ago.

Lo and behold - greenery!  Lots of it too.  And talk about crowded.

The dogs approve and the plot was chock-full of insects for the multiple turkey flocks we've been bumping into on our ramblings.

One more thing.  Two thirds of the trails have been cleared and the big food plot up at the north end looked very dead.  I mowed all the dead grass down to stubble.
