Good time to dig and divide.

About 2/3rds of the fall replant is done......we are using every little bit of land we have and looking forward to moving to a much larger acreage (as soon as this property sells). We like to let the sections lay fallow for a year to recharge the soil a bit. Unfortunately this year we don't have the space to do that so we will be applying a 5-10-10 fertilizer next week. Going to go sit by a river and fish for a few days when we are finished..well may be I will just have a line in with no hook that way there will be no energy expended😉
