Sorry if this has been asked before, but I didn't feel like searching around the forum too long.

Anybody try these ever? I planted some in a test plot last weekend and don't really know what to expect. Well, I expect good things, but sometimes what you expect doesn't happen.

I'm sure they are fine, but probably more expensive than the regular purple top and other brassicas.

what ever you plant is only as good as the soil you plant it in....If you go to their sight and read between the lines...they basically tell you that over and over again....that being said they do do a lot of research and hybridization with the seeds so given good soil they perform very well and are very palatable...but I personally...like how my regular seed does...but I plant things no one else does and make sure the soil is at peakwith added amenities such as calcium and other needed nutrients....We cant put out mineral licks ...but you can put out nutrients in the soil the plants will deliver to the animals eating them....long term cheaper and better for the animals

I planted them two years ago. They didn't grow very big and the deer didn't hit them like I thought they would. Soil was perfect for them so I don't know what happened?

I have not tried them but they are in the "Bargain Bin" on Cabelas.....

I almost tried them but dedided to plant full brassicas

I just picked up a bag to see what they would do for me. Need something that lasts into and after the rifle season.

I have used whitetail products for yrs.I have found

again my opinion is its a better fall plot planting.

It losses its appeal when it matures and drys out.

planted in late summer early fall ensures its tendeer

shoots are at their prime in oct or earlt nov.

the problem i have seen with brassicas in general is that deer don't know what they are. the first season they seem to be eaten only a little. But the deer that try it must tell their buddies as the next season they are mowed down to nothing sometime well before the frost
