Its a busy Sunday on the alpaca farm today. I have a slight addiction to motor sport so started the day watching the need of the F1 Monaco Grand Prix and have just watched the start of the Indy 500.
Anyway its now back to reality and I need to get the irrigation going and check out the alpaca females that are close to delivery.
I guess I may be tempting fate but it looks like the irrigation system has now settled down and we have resolved all the start of season teething troubles.
The schedule shows we should be irrigating the hay field on Monday Tuesday but as we have cut the hay and it is lying in the field we will obviously skip the next cycle.
One day I would really like to get a watering wheel for the hay field. I put most of the plumbing in place when we set up the irrigation system so it would be no big deal I just need to buy a used wheel from someplace and get it shipped here and working......if you know of one or have any ideas....I would really like to hear from you.
The climate in this part of the US is just about perfect for roses and Although I struggle to get fruit trees to grow I have no problems with roses.
