MAY ON THE FARM

I guess by now you realize that April got completely past us without getting the time to write the newsletter.  That’s not surprising since April is normally a busy time with us trying to get the spring chores completed before the hot days of summer.   This April was a little different; in fact, May is different than what we normally expect.  In April we had a late frost which put the pastures back over a week and had us put off the fertilizing we had planned.  In May we have had some cooler than normal nights which, though has allowed the pastures to green up, hasn’t provided the needed warmth to get them growing well.  Today is May 16 and I’m finally putting the fertilizing of the fields back on the task list for this week.  The forecast for the week shows night temps to be in the 50’s and daytime to be in the 80’s.  This should get our Bahia pastures growing and we should see good Coastal Bermuda growth beginning in about a week or 2 if we can get a couple of decent rains.
