Our Garden, Our Geese

Geese and Ducks off the Garden

Ryan Kraeger

This post is out of date, by almost a week.

Geese have grazed the wheat down to about 3 inches on average. Supposedly this is a good thing, and is supposed to encourage new root and tiller production and a thicker stand, as well as provide nitrogen for initial spring growth.

We shall see. However, I thought it as well to get them out of there (on December 3, 5 days after putting them on) before they nibble it right down to the crowns.

"I only remember the very first part of the book where he described the man of steel and velvet and I remember the deep chord that phrase struck. I remember the image I had of a hand of living steel wearing a velvet glove, a hand that could crush or caress, strike a killing blow or wipe away tears, lift mountains or cradle an infant. The rest of the book was an afterthought." From an essay about Aubrey Andelin's "Man of Steel and Velvet".
