Fusarium nursery is of to a great start. Looking good and weed free before we start irrigating. Almost time to bring on the disease.

@Ellen_Sparry Yes. I think you're right. Penn State extension says: The abdomens of cicada killer are mostly black with yellow markings while European hornet abdomens are mostly yellow with brown markings.

Cicada killer wasp? It's big whatever it is!

@ElroyCober Many fewer ducks this week than last.

@miiiike_sm Agreed - celiacs beware- seems like a lot of wheat to me. I'll be interested to see what's in the rest of this 4lb bag.

Just bought a bag of brown lentils from Walmart, product of Canada. Measured a cup (200g) and picked this out. I usually cook larger ones and don't find much to pick out. Does this seem normal?

First field is in for #plant24. The team works as a well-oiled machine, even if the old plot planter is not!
