    East TX spring/summer food plot? (what & when)

    I'm going to do spring plots for the first time this year. Done fall plots for years but never spring. So in mostly sandy ground what plot will grow best? And when should I seed it? I'm more interested in something the deer will eat THIS season. Not something they will have to get use to over a few seasons if there is such a plot. Also, something that I can disc, spread and disc again and be done. I have no way to water and don't really want to have to get into testing and fixing the soil and so on if I don't have to.
    Thanks for any pointers!!

      I plant Biologic Lab-Lab, with a mixture of clovers. The deer love it and they will be on it right away. Mid April for planting.

            We're looking into it as well for our E.Tx lease...our biggest concern is irrigation for the plots we decide on...

              You will be wasting your time and money by not having the soil tested and adding what it needs. Been there done that. If you want a plot to be successful you need to lime and fertilize.

                Ferg,

                I grow oats, wheat and winter clover fine. Does that mean the soil is good or is spring/summer different?

                    peas or soybeans work great, but you need some acreage. Mix in buckwheat or clover.
