Farm Maintenance
Sunday, June 28th, 2009 This hot weather is no time to be adding water lines but some things need to be done.
Using the Earth Saw by Little Beaver of Livingston Texas, trenching takes no time. We are drip watering every 3 days for 7 hours to ensure deep watering. Blackberries need 1 inch per week and in this hot weather 2 inches.
Blackberries first seasons of growth is vegetative cane growth which is called primocane. Over the winter the cold weather changes primocanes into floricanes which produce the fruit. At the end of the season all this old growth floricane must be cut out. Over the next few days we will begin this hot time consuming job.
