Darron Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I went down to my property today to check on the plot and the small brassica seedlings are beginning to pop through the dirt. I was worried I dragged them too deep, but I didn't. I had a couple spots of thick grasses that my tiller didn't do a very good job on so I nuked them and threw some seed down after the grasses died. I checked today and I have germination, so broadcasting brassicas onto dead weeds will work. My buddy across the street planted his brassicas on July 9 and his plot looked about the same as mine. Can't wait to see how much growth I get come September. Now I just have to plant my oat and rye patch in August and I am done for the year. I all ready tilled those plots, just waiting for new weed growth to spray plots around end of July and plant sometime around mid-August.

camoman1 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Sounds like things are going right on track! If we dont get a good rain here soon my clover is gonna be fried. I mowed it a few weeks ago, the stuff in the shade looks ok, but the middle is getting brown!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogdoc Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 awesome---as long as they get good moisture you should get some good growth. I've had problem with grasshopper damage on early planting of brassicas---those hoppers love they way they taste. keep us updated with some pics. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Glad to hear it came up ok for you. Next time you get out snap some pics if you can. Great...........very anxious too to see what it looks like going into hunting season. Pray for moisture and think about touching it up with some fertilizer again after about 4 weeks. It will really give it a jump for the fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
