7/14/2015 This is the second time I’ve found Rattlesnake Master growing in one of the planted prairies. I think the seeds must have come in with other seed I purchased. Rattlesnake Master is a wonderful plant, but it doesn’t normally grow this far north. It grows naturally in the southern two tiers of Wisconsin counties.

8/13/2015 Mike started mowing in the upper field – I’m going to plant prairie there this winter.
8/14/2015 Partly mowed
8/21/2015 The mowing is finished. Now we need to wait until the plants green up again, and then we’ll have it sprayed.
