And I know very well what 4 1/2 acres is, my back yard is 5 acres of
lawn, takes a good part of two days to mow, I'd hate to think how much
work it would be to tend to it in crops, would take like six families of
illegals. Yesterday for the first time this season it dried out enough
that I was able to mow my 4 acre back field for the first time, used to
be a hay field and it was already in seed, that takes a full day's labor
every week just to mow and keep the forest from growing back.

Gotta start somewhe

I planned to start string trimming today but it looks like rain... I sure
hope not as I plan to till my veggie garden this weekend and I need it to
dry out.




You have a very nice view off your back deck and no weeds.


Actually it's all weeds, much is mixed hay but it's green and at a distance
it looks like well manicured lawn grass.
