Wildflower Update: Uncle Glen said he saw some Allegheny spurge while on a walk. I have seen some small purple phacelia while walking on some annual rye grass in one of our bottom fields. After a polar blast, temperature is at or above normal. Because the days are so short, I have not been able to take many walks in the woods.
Pollination and Wildlife: Last week while taking a walk on our farm, I saw some bats feeding at sunset. I can't imagine there were many insects available after the polar blast we had three weeks ago but, they appeared to be feeding. Lots of birds are our feeders ... especially cedar waxwings.
Work on the Farm: I have finished walking on annual rye and winter oats on our waterways (soybean fields this season). Lots of catalogs in the mail ... time to buy seed soon.
