Canola Fields
Yes, as in canola oil.
Pam plants, our oldest son calls them.
This is not a crop I remember ever seeing in Oklahoma.
Either I'm more in touch with agriculture now
or it's new to the area.
Either way, I'm loving the sweet smelling canola fields a few miles away from our home.
They are just so lovely!
Ecclesiastes 3:11
God has made everything beautiful in its time.
even canola!
they are pretty! i've seen a blogger pal in canada post about them before. :)
ReplyDeleteWow if only all crops were so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHmmm....how do they smell. I thought most canola was grown in places like Idaho, Montana, and ND and SD, but then I realized I haven't thought about that for a couple of decades. I hope they will weather the kinds of droughts that have been hitting NM, TX, and OK lately. When are they harvested?
ReplyDeleteVerrrry interesting!
Wow, i had no idea!
ReplyDeleteAh so now I know where some of our oil comes from..good to see the actual plant! This is Anna from That New House...I've branched out with a new blog: http://okrahillfarm.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteBut the real reason I wanted to post a comment is because I found out Friday that I'm expecting my third boy in August! So I get to join the club of mama of three boys :o) Seeing your boys inspires me...hoping mine turn out to be as good as your's seem to be!
I've never seen canola plants before, and you're right, they're beautiful:)

ReplyDeleteSo interesting to hear you remark about the canola crap ( we have tons here in central Alberta) it's refreshing to hear you like the smell too. Lots of folks comment on it 'stinking...' I will think of you this summer when I see the sea of yellow!
