Same wheat field on Wednesday:
The one across the highway. Next to it someone is growing peas and Garry points out the poppies are growing in their field not his. They look pretty though.
Garry took a photo of a wheat field in the village (not ours) with wild poppies and blue cornflowers blooming in it.
The little corn field. Max working on adding nitrogen fertilizer in the the irrigation water for it.
Above the smaller field with somewhat shorter corn. The photo below shows the bigger corn field, taken last week when they were working on the irrigation lines.
Wednesday afternoon, same field, much taller. Heat and rain (and a little irrigation water) is amazing.
Sunflowers growing. In a couple weeks they will have cute yellow flowers, and look like sunflowers, following the sun. They are turning toward the sun already.
Alfalfa ready to cut. They started mowing yesterday afternoon. Newest weather forecast has a lot of rain in, so we may be making haylage again, like first cut. They only watered it once, right after first cut, since we've had so much rain.
The newly planted millet field. They got a little water on after planting. It rained about a third of an inch on Tuesday late afternoon and after midnight. Basically. so far this is year you might get good crops without irrigation. At least so far. July can be very hot and dry!
Just for fun, the guy who comes to the village with horses pulling a wagon, followed by the newest colt. They live in a tiny village across the fields and there's a new baby running behind every year.
Scott and Shannon planted gladioli bulbs before they left in April and this one is starting to bloom. You can see the little zinnia plants behind it.
