Farmer Friday 7/30/2020


The forecast yesterday started out at 107 then changed to 108. The real high was 111°F. I spent the day moving water hoses and wetting down chicken pens. And I still lost a hen.  Today started out cooler but was 112°F at 2:00


Really?  I don’t think so. I think the boys in that pen are big enough to process. Just as soon as we get a break in the weather. Either that or I’ll have to fix up some light and do it at night. 


We’ve made a tiny bit of progress on the shed. Need more pallets. Maybe next week.  


Hard to see the water coming out but I might have solved a watering issue. I have a lot of long skinny spaces that are almost impossible to water with a sprinkler. I got out some 1/2” poly pipe and was going to just put short 1/4” Lines to each plant. Then I wondered if I could just poke holes in it and skip the extra lines. Worked great!


Even with extra water the cucumbers are really sad when it’s this hot. 

Not a drop of rain. 

After some equipment issues starting out well drilling is back on. At 35’ this evening and making about 5’ an hour.
