Last minute Panhandle food plot

I've posted before that gettin' old ain't a lot of fun. This year my health has declined because of old injuries and osteoarthritis destroying these joints. This is the time in 40 years that I was unable to plant a normal garden, it was too wet to start, then the total knee replacement finished it off. I thank God for providing a competent surgeon to do my knee and will probably be looking for a new hip in the future and probably a shoulder operation or two :rolleyes .

In the meantime I have been able to mow the yard and do a little tractor work in the last few months. Today I went and bought 10 gallons of diesel fuel and fired up the old MF175 and the off-set harrow. I have decided to plant a small narrow Rye patch inside of last year's Corn/clover patch that is over grown with dog fennel weeds and other weeds. There is a small amount of Ladino Clover that has managed to survive. The patch will be a strip in the middle of the weeds running southeast with a narrower leg running southwest to the SW corner of the plot.

Here are a few pictures from today's work, an old kitchen stool/ladder to get up on the tractor, a view of the area to be planted and a shot from the feeder in the planted pines looking across the food plot to the shooting house. As this project progresses, I'll try to keep it posted.

I haven't tried to climb the ladder to the shooting house with my new knee, so that will be an interesting event if I can sneak away from Miss Joy. She's encouraging me to put some camo curtains on the golf cart and used it as a ground blind. Probably not a bad idea, considering how easy it would be to work the wind.
