The before.......

Pictures...lets hope the after ones are much more green...This is the lower field...the green in the middle is a mowed clover /chicory planting...the area where trees are planted ...This year...is where the Alfalfa / clover is planted...the rest hemp/bean mix....

Seems ideal for a nice plot area.

Dang as of today...many plants are up an inch already...was checking to see if the milorganite was working....lots of tracks still crossing to the plot in middle...pretty sure none of the sunflower seed made it in any areas....lesson learned

Plots and property look nice. I have never had luck with sunflowers as well. Last year I planted whitetail's powerplant which is a blend of sorghum and sunflowers. The sorghum looked great and deer loved it for bedding, but I never saw any sunflowers.

I can't wait to get up and check plots. Hopefully I will have some pictures to post this weekend.

Looking good,I see some awsome veiw's in the back ground bet they look even nicer in the fall.

Good stuff Growalot. Keep us updated with pics throughout the summer. Really curious to see how that REEFER plot does for you..

[growalot]

Thanks....I'm really hoping the Quail Haven soybeans do well...they were only a $1 a pound and can climb from 6-12 ft if conditions are good...bummed a bit about the sunflowers that will thin the plot out a lot I think...and I had disced them in good before planting the other seed....

Did the sunflower seeds sprout?

[growalot]

The Sun flowers were dug up and eaten...empty shells every where...unless I buried some really deep looks like there won't be any....I had added 5 lbs of them...so it was between this field shown and the upper smaller field ...5#'s of sunflower...16 #'s of SB and 9#'s of hemp...plus the 1oz of Kanaf and 1oz of sweet sorghum the SB's had in them when they arrived....I know that doesn't sound like a lot ..but the seed is small 15,000 seed per # for the hemp and the Quail Haven seed wasn't much bigger than the hemp seed

Nice grow, It will be cool to check out my plot in two weeks. There is a trail camera set up on it and you can see the progression of the growing clover. Its been a month now since I last saw it.

Red yellow delicious and 2 kiefer pears...the red leafed out early ...the yellow just leafed out and I'm holding out for the kiefer pear...iffy...all of them are late season...deer here hit my pears hard....

[landtracdeerhunter]

If they were bare root stock, sometimes they are slow to respond. Keep watering if dry. Delicious have the best apple, nice choice. Like the pear also. Easy to care for and deer like. Nice looking set up.
