Soon spring 🌱

[muleman]

Does anyone think we might just get an early spring this time after a very bad winter?
Grass is starting to shoot here in Cumbria, I think maybe earlier than some years, think we might get cows out by 20th may this time, some years can be June/July

Halfway through May , spring is March here normally

Think he must have banged his head on the ceiling this morning when he woke up as with all that money under his mattress there can’t be much clearance now.

6 weeks behind here , still got N to go on wheat

Was greener here all winter, just far too wet.
2nd half of April it just stood still but now it's really motoring, think cows will get out sooner, could just about go now at a push

I'm a bit green to arable but do you not usually have to sow it first?

Well if you don’t sow it first you don’t usually get to combine it.
