Almost Winter Rye Planting Time

I took a ride the other morning to the Ventura Grain Co, Inc. feed store in Taunton, MA to pick up my winter rye.

I used to buy this right here in Franklin at the Agway but sadly the store went out of business and closed earlier this year.

The nice thing about the Agway, besides be just a couple miles up town, was that you could scoop and fill your own bag with the amount you wanted.  I always did 3-pounds, which was more than enough for me, The smallest bag that Ventura Grain had was a 5-pound bag, so I'll have extra and perhaps it'll last till next fall.

It's still a little too early to plant now but soon, as the evening temps have been dipping into the upper 40's, brrr....
