ParticipantBeen in the 70s ’til last Sunday = now in the 40s, and the hills/mountains above me got some snow. Lots of rain & wind, here on the Salmon.
How’s it, where you’re at?
I’d use trickle irrigation in your situation, I think.March 30, 2010 at 11:55 pm #52373farmerkitty
ParticipantWell, we have been getting snow/hail/rain all day. It is nice right now. I wanted to thank you for all of the help w/the ground power. I just typed the dedication up and sent it to Mr. Ruarke in Pomeroy. Saturday at 11 am is the unveiling and dedication ceremony. 🙂
So I am excited. I look forward to meeting you. Was it u that was coming with the horses?March 31, 2010 at 5:59 pm #52365ParticipantNo…I can’t make it this year – I think it’s probably Nearhorse (Geoff) that’s going to Pomeroy.

My sweet peas should be up any day; but it’s been pretty chilly. Got snow in Grangeville yesterday, but it’s gone, now.

The ground power dedication was very interesting, and informative. The restoration team never found any markings on the ground power to say who manufactured it. But, the ground power itself ran 14 horses at one time. 7 teams of 2 horses. And, instead of hooking horses to it they had 14 of us get into the harnes with rope, and we pulled it a few revolutions. Turned it into a man vs. horse driven ground power. I want to say a special
Thank You to the S.E. Washington Agriculture and Historical Museum for a job well done. I will post some photos of the finished product shortly.
