Home Ag Update: Knee high by the Fourth of July... YEAH RIGHT!!!

As you can see from my two test plants, I am WAY past the old adage! Mind you my test plants (I call them that because I planted them to test the "Round-Up Readiness" of the rest of my seed) are a week ahead of my plot, but...


















These plants are even taller than the test plants. The tallest of them are already over my head (I'm just shy of 6')! I've only applied nitrogen once since I planted them, and you can see the results.













And the other half of my garden; comprised of four tomatoes, and crop plantings of sweet corn and sunflowers. It isn't doing nearly as well as the field corn, as the weeds have taken over.













And a shot of my entire operation. Enjoy.
