Still hauling hay

Posting about growing summer lettuce over at Simple Green Frugal Co-op today.
A refreshing summer salad will hit the spot after a day of this!

Simple, Green, Frugal Co-op
We need some hay to put around the edges of our pond.
Will you be able to cut hay again? Down here folks cut twice this time of year.
We’re doing the same thing today! 250 more and we will have all 800 bales we put up for the winter. It all ways nice when that last bale vanishes in to the dark haymow then all the itchiness and sweat is over till next summer. A salad sounds good

Makes me feel good seeing all that work done. Now to haul it!
You hay looks very good. I am assuming it is mostly grass. Grass hay is a sot after commodity here for all people with horses. We have a few horse people for our hay, but ours is straight alfalfa.

Linda, it’s all grass here on this side of the mountains – almost all the alfalfa comes from the dry side of Oregon & Washington where the land and weather is similar to yours. That hay was at a friends place at a lower elevation, hopefully we can start ours this week if it warms up again. It’s cool and cloudy – maybe we’ll hit 60 degrees today, it’s definitely not haying weather!
Beautiful photo…
