What’s growing on your land this year?

Curious what you are planting this year, stuff like veggies, grains, flowers, or maybe even cover crops? Let us know which of them actually doing good so far.

Our little ten acres of heaven is a bit different. We are 90% timber on a small lake. We harvest over the years time, Mushrooms, Hickory Nuts, Black Walnuts, Venison, Wild Turkey, Fish, Oak and Ash firewood, Hickory wood for smoking meat and hours of solitude. We have a half mile drive to the mail box and use our Kubota to grade, repair, and plow and blow snow. We also use it to haul firewood.
We do grow some veggies in containers on our deck though.

This year, we're focusing on a diverse mix of crops, including heirloom tomatoes, kale, and winter wheat. The heirloom tomatoes, particularly the 'Brandywine' variety, are thriving in our soil. We're also experimenting with cover crops like clover and vetch to improve soil health and suppress weeds.

I've got a nice mix of veggies and cover crops growing. Those beans are thriving, but it looks like the lettuce is already struggling with the heat!

Well, right now it's snow. I plowed snow all yesterday afternoon and they're predicting more tonight. I plow our half mile drive, the neighbors, and the access road as well. My old Bronco with a plow mounted, won't start. (I need to get that running), so I am using the 3710. It does take a lot longer, but it does get the job done. I am very impressed with the cab. At 10 degrees it's so warm inside I take off my gloves, hat, and coat and plow in shirt sleeves.

Sounds like you’ve got a good amount of snow piling up. Glad to hear the 3710 is keeping you warm. Hope you can get the Bronco back on the road soon.
