Hope to build up the soil and make it a great plot as it is in a really good spot.

I got amazing germination…… but 3 weeks of non stop rain and clouds left them stunted and about 6” tall. Deer finally found them before they got big enough to make it. Pretty much wiped me out and now the &$&% crab grass has come in. So this year is a wash. I could salvage but ain’t got time
I’ll grow crab grass and spray it for fall plots

I'm in the same boat. Planted in a drought and then 4 weeks later a third of my field is under water. Was able to reseed in some of the muddier areas and then got a rain break, and I had good germination of the vetch and clover.
E-fence was hot when I left it, so hopefully I can get something out of it next month.

June 25 and we hope to finish " spring " planting this weekend. Nonstop rain April thru early June caused my latest planting ever. Will say that what's planted a week ago is coming on fast. Will be interesting experiment.
For another experiment we are drilling a light dose of sunflower, okra, milo, sorghum, buckwheat and pearl millet into existing perennial clover fields. The idea is to get some deeper rooted plants growing, absorb the nitrogen and have plants available as the clover thins out later in the summer. Course it could also be a total failure as well. TBD

Originally posted by RifleBowPistol View PostI am curious about the radishes, I assume the deer eat the greens, but do they or hogs eat the bulb? I wonder why they include a bulb type plant, with some of the foot plot mixes. Makes me think that possibly deer, more likely pigs would go after those.
