C-2 too wet to plant and grow
New wetland area too wet for Brassicas and some clover grow – over grazed
Sweet corn and beans were very bad – soil needs work in that area
Pwer plants did well in High spot – poorer in c-1 – Weed and soil problem

Weather
Wet year – rain started heavy in August when just planted
Frost mid September – Hard late September
Wildlife

Shot one Doe in wood plot during Bow season. Saw many more
Grouse saw more than one in wood plat – also one up front
Red squirrel have moved in

RECOMMENDATIONS
Need to till soil by shed if going to use.
Add lime and fertilzie all plots – makes big diff
Rope off Parts of wood plot for firearms season
Plant in rows – stagger development
Put in Corn and soy round up ready in Basin and C-1 so can kill weeds – spry several times
Put wet crops in new areas
Put edible grass in basin area
Put in apple and blue beery in by shed or river?
