I have been planning to plant LC Rye Mix (when I can) on August 13 near Eau Claire, WI.
Looking ahead, I'll be up there next Saturday 8/6. Forecast shows rain on Monday and chances the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday after. I know it's early, but let's pretend that forecast holds --
Would you plant a week early to take advantage of those rains or still wait another week and just see what happens? Archery opens 9/17 and first frost date is 9/28 up there. I know the risk of planting Rye/Oats early as far as palatability but I also have peas, radish and clover mixed in.
Planting into standing buckwheat, lightly discing larger seed and mowing.
