Fawns are dropping!

[Okie4570]

As of tonight, I've mowed my yard more times this year, than I did the last two years combined!

 

[dennishoddy]

Me too. (note to self. Don't put left over 46-0-0 on your lawn.)

I swear I can watch it grow.

 

[Oklahomabassin]

Well it worked tonight. I don't want to risk baby rabbits or deer. I didn't mow.
(It could have been the 2 hour meeting, 1 hour after getting home from work)

Shoot, I just called the yardmen and had them do it. The hedges, ivy, weed eating and whatever else needed it. Then Sticky came by and we drank a brew and discussed the finer points of fertilizing his lake.

Yeah, but you make the big bucks.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, that is debatable.

I haven't seen any fawns, but I have some young deer that like my yard; if I get home late, I'll occasionally scare up one or two that have bedded down in the yard behind the holly bushes next to my driveway.

I did see a gaggle of turkey poults a couple of weeks ago. I came around the corner in the drive, and there was this turkey sitting in the middle of the road. I first thought she was hurt, but then she stood up, and this gaggle of fuzzy little poults took off. I don't think they could've been more than a week old, but they could certainly scoot on those little feet. I had my cell phone in my pocket and a Canon DSLR hanging on the passenger seat back, but I was so enthralled by the scene that it didn't occur to me to grab either 'til momma had herded them off the road into the tall grass...

My grass is a good 18" tall (lots of trees, so it's mostly fescue/rye), but both of my mowing tractors are down, and I've been too lazy to buy the parts. Anyone know where I can buy a 6V coil for an early-production Ford 8N?

O'Reilly's or Autozone will be able to get you what you need.

They can get the later-model 8N coils (the ones that look like a normal automotive coil), but I haven't had any luck in getting the early-model 6V front-mount coils from them. It looks like TSC carries them, so I'll have to try them.

Been blessed with a little rain this year? We've been getting some good, well timed rains. Lawn is out of control. It could stand to be mowed twice a week. Haven't even had to irrigate yet.
