Those plots have had 10 inches of rain on them since I planted on July 28th. This next weekend I plan to over seed the bare spots with more brassicas.
Well they have knocked down at least 20 stalks already. I hope they have enough to eat already on the ground.
No signs of any browsing by deer yet. I just hope they get tall and looking forward to some turnips and radishes because I love to eat them raw.
Thanks Brent i hope the deer use it come hunting season.
Thanks weasel as long as the moisture is there and you follow LC's recommendations they turn out great.
Yes Fish it sure will be a nice fall. I'm taking my son in law on his first deer hunt. He is very eager to do some hunting. I have a few shooters and several does that need thinned. Hope my 83 year old father scores a nice buck this year. We have done lots of planning and planting this year and hopefully it all comes together.Congratulations on the grandbaby! This will be a fall to remember with bucks, brassicas, and the baby.
Those plots look fantastic.
I have not given thought to a spring planting but is the red clover an annual and would it green up right away and last till next fall planting?
Oh yea, the red clover will take off early spring and provide forage all summer. I have a red clover plot that will be going into its 3rd winter this year. I add clover to all my fall plantings and then till under the following fall. Heavy reseeding plant so I get a lot of volunteer. Also puts lots of nitrogen back into the soil. I never fertilize now with my fall plantings.
How many ponds per acre should I plant if overseeding with red clover?
