Tip… this same concept holds true for a hay field. If I cut the hay extremely close the ground it takes longer for the grass to recover and then start growing again. If I left an extra 1/2 inch of grass in the field it will be ready to cut again a couple of weeks sooner. On a 10 acre field I might lose 1 roll of hay per cutting... But I have a very good chance of getting an extra cutting in the fall. Basically I’m trading a couple rolls of hay in the summer to get another 40 rolls in late fall. All of this depends on rain but most years I’d get that extra cut in late October. If I didn’t need the hay I’d have excellent fall grazing for the cattle.
I don't eat either, but make both just for other people.
She will fly through the air and attach herself to the side of my leg. Last night she jumped up on a shelf where I have cookbooks and had an antique piebird. Had is the operable word there. She broke the piebird. She is mostly in the summer kitchen and outside, but I want her to know the house too. She is getting less and less destruction time in the house. Oh yea, she opens drawers and retrieves "toys" or anything that looks like it is attackable. If you open a cupboard or the fridge, she is in it. Get the milk, set milk on counter leaving fridge door open, hunt for small feline in fridge, hang on while getting bit and scratched, close fridge door, put cat outside, now return to milk. She will also fly through the air and try to attach to a wall like a gecko, but that doesn't work.
