Wildflower Update: The fall nectar flow is nearing the end. Flowers where I bush-hogged during the summer are later and just now blooming. Our pollinator gardens have some late blooming plants. I planted several Tennessee Coneflowers and they are in bloom and beautiful.
Pollinators and Wildlife: While outside after school today, I saw a dozen Monarchs ... six in one butterfly bush! I thought maybe that the migration had peaked here but maybe not. Still a few bumble bees and our honeybees are still working hard.
Work on the Farm: Still planting the last of the food plots and have switched to wheat, winter oats and austrian peas. It has been really dry here for a month but we should get some rain later tonight and tomorrow. Next week is fall break and I will be able to be out on the farm in the mornings.
