Finally a Little Rain

[davidhelmly]

I’ve had lime and fertilizer spread on all of my plots and picked up seed yesterday too, I’m going to finish up calibrating my planter this morning and hope to get some seed in the ground early tomorrow.
Who else is planting with that much needed rain?

I think we are going to put a day in tomorrow as well. Rain aside, it’s the only gap we have in the schedule to do it.

Gonna hold out until end of month and drill clover wheat oats and rye grain..

I plowed n planted mine last sat and glad I did, got 3/4 inch of rain in the past few days and its raining steady down there this morn. The oats have already started sprouting up.

Been waiting on a rain to soften the soil up some. This red clay is like concrete.

I planted a good sized turnips patch last weekend. Not sure who it is for, the deer or the deer hunters, but it is in the ground. I am watching the weather for the end of the month. Fingers crossed.

I’ve received 3 1/2” of rain in the past three hours. Rain still coming down. I’m in Putnam County nw of Eatonton. Just a reference for anyone else that is interested in the area.

I got the last of my dirt turned yesterday just before it rained hard. Don’t know if I can keep at it though. I’ll check the dirt when I come out of the woods this morning.

I planted radishes, turnips, mustard, and collards a week ago. Gotten 2/100ths of an inch since then. Good thing I can get water to it. It`s dry here in my part of Southwest Georgia.

The planter is hooked up, calibrated, and loaded on the trailer just waiting for me to hook up in the morning.

We got good rain last two days.

Planting 30 Sept.

Oats, brassica, clovers.

I am a near idiot so I just plant the oats and mix the rest together and broadcast.

May grab a few bags of AWP also.


Good luck all!!!!!

Boys…I’m at the farm now. We planted 3 weeks ago without spraying. Plenty of rain n germination excellent. Didn’t spray. Just mowed, disc’d n ran the firminator thru it to plant.

Observations from planting so early:
- Plenty of rain with excellent germination.
- Brassicas gonna be very good.
- Downside - Crabgrass n foxtail back with a vengeance.

Prolly ok with first frost but if we plant this early nxt yr will definitely spray with gly 2 weeks ahead of planting. I’ll try n take pics in morn n post

We got all ours planted last Friday and Saturday . Just in time for some nice rain . I may check them out Sunday . Anyone tried any of these ? We added a couple bags in our plots .

 

[Long Cut]

Got some clover down, trying something different.

I typically mix my own seed, but for those little 1/2-1 acre plots sometimes paying for convenience is nice. I’ve heard guys swear by this stuff recently. Time will tell.

 

[Big7]

We been getting some in varying degrees every day for the last few days.

Glad too.. Things were starting to look pretty sad even with watering every 2 or 3 days.

What didn't die or get real bad stressed looks real good now.

 

[buckmanmike]

Dang, I haven't put seed in the ground yet. I've sprayed and limed. Planning on buying a tiller next week. My harrow has about died.
Next week after Wednesday if rain in the forecast.
Post up your plot pics.

 

[kmckinnie]

We have quite a few plots. Didn’t take pics of everything today.

 

[kmckinnie]

A few from today.
