It’s 95° here today in SC, so while I’m inside cooling off (wasting time) wanted to see what everyone’s normal morning routine looks like. I’ll start…
• Wake up around 6am (later than most, I’ll bet)
• Walk dog around property & start irrigation for market garden setting timer for 45 minutes
• Grab a coffee & jimmy dean croissant sandwich
• Watch YouTube until the irrigation timer goes off
• Turn off irrigation & start daily work (currently clearing a new field & torching burn piles)
What do you all do to start the day?

Similar but I try to get the weeding done on the market garden before it gets too hot
I’m in my 60’s so a later start around 7, get the farm dogs out of house for the dayand start airing out the house LOL, feed the chickens. A cat colony (22-25 cats) moved in over the past 2 1/2 years. Was able to fix and vax 90% of them with help from a dedicated spay clinic. There are still some toms running around but def have females fixed. Fill their feeding stations according to the current colony politic situation. For the rest of day, currently we have had so much rain it’s about replacing nutrients, not watering. There is no fast easy way because this is a new weather pattern and I don’t have a fertigate system. Then all the daily tasks, repair fencing, stringing trellising etc
