Turkey Top update

This past Saturday I had a chance to get up to Turkey Top and check out the progress of my clover plot.  To say the grass had taken it over was an understatement.

However, there is good news.  The clover is thriving under all this grass.

It just needed a good mowing.  Unfortunately this plot's located in an area of our property only accessible by foot.  That makes driving or even pushing a mower to get to it impossible unless accessed from the neighbor's property...but that's another issue all in itself!  So I used my string trimmer and got about 2/3 of the plot mowed down before a storm chased me back to the truck.

In the next week or two I'll be hitting it again, this time with a herbicide called Arrest that's designed to kill only the grasses & leave the clover to thrive. 

From the pictures you can also see that there's a dead Locust tree in the middle of the plot.  I girdled this tree last winter to kill it and it makes a good place for my trailcam.  However, there were some honeysuckle sprouts that grew up in front of the camera since the last time I'd been to the plot.  So my SD card was maxed out with 2905 pictures, of which about 3/4 were honeysuckle shoots blowing in the breeze!  Here's a couple from before the camera got blocked though.

Seems like a popular place to be.

First fawn picture of the year!
