You are about a week or two behind us here, then. Our farmers had
nitrogen tanks out a week or two ago. This field was already green
then, but it was good to give it a little time to grow. From the looks
of it, they will be off the field sometime next week. The rye thinned
out a lot over winter.

My goats are out in this field, but they are really not rye/clover
eaters. In a few weeks when the leaves are out and weeds up and going
good, they will be a lot happier.

My peach trees are about to bloom. One Japanese plum is open now.
