To add one idea, IMO the #1 main reason some fall plots fail is that many are planted a bit too late, but planting in July and early August can be too dry. To hedge my chances and get around this dilemma I plant fall plots in small adjacent strips in the same field at different times to create a staged plot, starting as early as mid June with turnips and radishes. If a midsummer plot fails I just replant with the next stage beside it or overseed later with more seed.
