I have mentioned that someone has to walk the fence daily to
make sure it is still attached and working since deer seem to like tearing it
down and sometimes those cows just don't care if they get shocked. I went
around a few weeks ago and sprayed underneath the fence to kill off any weeds and grass
that could grow into the wire and ground it, preventing the electricity from
finishing the circuit. There were areas I couldn't spray because they were too
close to water or just plain standing in water (we've had a lot of rain). Trees
got in the way of the tractor too. Imagine that; trees don't just move so the
tractor can get through!
I have come across some wild strawberry plants growing out
there that produce all plant and almost no berry. Odd that I can't even get tame
strawberries to grow in my garden but wild ones are taking over the woods and
cow pasture. There are some other weeds growing too and I had to look them up
to make sure they weren't really 'weed' weeds. I swear we didn't plant them.
Turns out it's wild hemp, also known as a variety of pig weed, and just so you
know, the ingredient that causes one to get high in the real thing, THC, is not
in hemp, so trespassers beware. We won't take it lightly if you come on to our
land looking for something that isn't there. Sure looks like the real thing
though. What do you think?
I swear it really is wild hemp or pig weed. Looks real though.
