What to plant now?

[Zag]

So I have one plot with cover, chicory & alfalfa, another with corn, buckwheat and sunflowers. The last one had brassica's the past two yrs. Its a pretty small area, maybe only 100ft x 50ft. Its tucked right next to the woods. I'm in competition with Soybeans across the road and corn on the other side of the woods. Also keep in mind my 3 plots are on about 1 1/2 acres of my 3 acre lot with house!!

A pure stand of good chicory...or a small area of winter grains so you can plant turnips in the fall again...chicory will last several years and you can though winter grains in with it and or turnips next fall

Thanks gl. I had been thinking about oats and or winter peas? My goal is variety even though im not working with much of an area.

All my plots are pretty small actually...there's just a whole lot of them...  I like variety as well...I think that it holds the interest of all the critters....Good luck this year

Thanks. I working on making it the best 3 acres in Liv Co. Basically my house and yard is about 1 1/2 acres and the rest leads into an over grown field that ends at the edge of a corner wood lot. Next yr I think I will open it up some more and add some soybeans to the mix!!
