Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

[Mini Horses]

Just enjoying my morning coffee. It's wet out.

It hasn't rained here since Friday. No rain forecast until Thursday.

Coffee is good this morning

Thanks everyone

I'm pretty sure the blue circle is narrow leaf plantain and the red circled is broad leaf plantain. But what I showed I believe to be something different.

Interesting AI summary reading though on both narrow and broad lead plantain.

I have so many different plants growing in the pastures. I'm just trying to learn what some of them are that I don't know. But I'm pretty sure this is foxtail next to tank.

I'm pretty sure this is barnyardgrass, what's your thoughts? It grows fast and gets ruddy big if not grazed. But it's pretty easy to pull up by the roots when the soil is moist.

through the years i've become very acquainted with quack grass. [acquainted should be spelled (first typed as smelled ) akwaynted...]

the past week i've had several bouts of digging it out of the garden i'm trying to plant. roots that run three feet across through the clay, but also down about a foot and a half.

a good barrier helps keep it from a garden or pathway, but it will still try to find ways to run and i've had quite long roots of six or more feet under and along some black plastic as it was trying to go up the pathway.

This picture that Mom took popped up in my Facebook memories today.

Green eggs and ham.

This is how big broad leaf plantain can get if you don't mow it and it gets chicken fertilizer.

On another note. This in the first time in a month it let me upload a bigger picture. Almost 6 megabytes

I have that AND some huge burdock. Chicken & goat assistance!

My chickens like both plantains I have. Of course they eat moss as well

My chickens love the comfrey I have, too. In fact ate a couple new starts, root & all. Fenced them out.

Right now, decent temps...won't last heat coming. But I prefer lower than 70s at night.

Truck repairs today. Then back to the usual, everyday chores -- that are slower to accomplish with the excessive heat this summer. Norm includes lots of sweaty clothes laundry & 2 showers a day. Are we having fun yet?
