Lots of planting this weekened


Recommended Posts

But I got done what I wanted. Along the edge of our hay field bordering the apple trees I planted about a 5 foot wide by approx. 40 yard strip of soy beans with a little clover, want to see how that does. Then on the back corner opposite the apple trees, I planted a small area with purple top turnips and down from that I planted another area with just clover. All of this done with a Husqvarna rototiller....man I can see why an atv would be easier, lol. Anyone else planting plots?

Good luck with the beans Ruth, deer will probably keep them mowed down.

Anyone else planting plots?

Not yet. Got some tractor maintenance to take care of. Behind on everything, but still planning to get some plots in this summer if I can make the time for it.

Yeah no one plants many soy beans in this area so I'm curious to see how they do, they are forage soybeans. I threw the clover in case they don't do well or like you said the deer mow em' down. Last year I saw a couple soybean fields several miles away. Waiting on some rain here now.

Well everything started coming up this week. The soybean/clover plot is just sprouting. The purple top turnip plot is up - wow they sprout fast, and the clover only plot is also just starting. Actually I think it may be clover/chicory mix. The seed I bought from our local feed mill and it was called Big Buck ...I know it is clover and may be chicory. Bought the seed last fall. It's coming up very nicely.
