What Else Is It Not Too Late For??

[Cabin Fever]

I got carried away and disced up 1/4+ acre plot more than I had planned on. Wondering what else I could throw in there to try, that's is not too late to plant? BTW, don't say the "B" word (brassicas)!! (I planted ALL kinds, plus Biologic Maximum mix, for 3-4 years wasting foodplot space and lots of $, without the deer ever as much as nibbling on them!) Willing to grab a bag of something off the shelf, if someone has had good luck with it.

 

I have plots of established clover/chicory/alfalfa. Already preparing to plant a 1 acre plot of WW/WR/Oats/BW. My property is surrounded by soybeans, corn, and apple orchards.

cabin, it's amazing how some deer like brassica and some don't?  It's too late to plant them anyway.

 

Don't waste your money on the buckwheat for a fall planting.  Plant BW in May.

 

Do you plan on keeping the 1/4 acre plot in annuals?

More of the same it sounds...maybe go with an all-oats or a WW/WR.

Gotcha on the BW... I thought the deer liked them when they were young emerging plants, that's why I thought I'd throw them into the mix/buffet!?

 

Not sure what I'll do with this plot next year. See how this year goes, then decide, I guess...

don't have many options....ww, wr, triticale or oats

I just started looking into triticale a little last night. Don't know much about it though...

Winter wheat or any of the winter grains still have time to grow.
