It's finally up!

The winter wheat on Spring Street is finally looking like a crop!  Thank goodness.  I saw a few green blades on the 18th, but these pics from the 21st are the first day that the wheat was up uniformly.  That makes it a little more than a month since planting on September 18.

The view from the Southwest corner.  It's a two acre planting this year.

Spring Street on October 21.  The patch on the right is Vavilov, and on the left is Wisconsin No. 2.

Had a great two days plowing in the garden (10/20 & 10/21).  We are plowing up the corn ground at the East end and the squash/fallow area on the West end.  The West side was not fallow on purpose--it was so wet I could never get in there this year.  As a result it's a weedy sod and it's not turning over very well.  I hope I can get it worked up.  My plan is to make it a tiny hay field.

The plow and the new (third try) disengage mechanism worked very well.
