Pearl, I figured it would be that easy, and I saw a button this morning. But none last night, so I just chalked it up to the vagaries of mobile technology.
Janet, thank you, I will!
Eric, we are not sure on a timeline. Frankly, there was a lot of discussion about hitting the eject button and going somewhere else, but it looks now like we will be here at least a few more years. That said, we have not formally decided on a plan. Our "plans" sound a little like this: "It would be valuable to have some goats someday," and, "We should think about rebuilding the chicken coop and replacing our hens that got eaten by coyotes," 'There should probably be a water feature of some kind some where here"and, my favorite, 'How many fruit trees do you think we really need?"
I, personally, would LOVE to see even a small patch of native shortgrass prairie, but we don't want to willy-nilly plant something so long-term with no Big Idea of how the property will work as a whole. Plus, we are trying to figure out how to procure the 3 acres next door, which will change the overall plan...again....
So, I am thinking basic cover-crop right now.
