Plots finally in!

[Darron]

Well..........I looked at the extended forecast and they are talking about rain all next week. I start back to work on the 25th, so I only have a few dry days to plant my last two plots. I went down yesterday and broadcasted 100 pds of 30-10-3 on my brassica plot, which is doing exrememly well. I have put down 100pds of 12-12-12 and 100pds of 30-10-3. Hopefully that will give it a nice boost here a month before season. After that I planted my oat, rye, wheat, triticale, pea and red clover........

The plot was tilled about a month ago and I sprayed it twice. I had a few weeds but nothing major. I used my drag harrow with the teeth down to tear up the ground 1-2" deep. After making a pass or two, I broadcasted my seed blend. After broadcasting I flipped the drag over and used the smooth side to cover the seed. After I covered, I broadcasted 7pds of red clover seed on top of the smooth soil. Hopefully the rain next week will give me good germination. I know I am about 7-10 days early, but I had to. I didn't fertilize knowing I was getting it in a little early.

The amount of deer sign in their bare plots was unbelievable, so I can only imagine once the food starts growing. Our bow opener is Sept 26, so I am right around a month and a few days out.
