Plant or wait?

[Killdee]

We will wait.

We planted today. I was surprised at the amount of moisture in the ground (Monroe County), but it was the big forestry service tractor, so it turned it deep. I'd expect the wheat to sprout in a few days. Should get some rain by next week. Last year is the worst I've seen where we are, two months before it rained after planting, but it did come on up once the rain came.

Just got thru planting 3 hours ago. never planted this early but due to obligations decided to give it a try. No rain in forcast for a week, then out of nowhere it started raining, as of this minute we have had .8 in rain and still coming. Go figure! I did not get the clover down but will top dress it tomorrow or sun and hope for the best.

Bump that to 1.08 in. yippee

wait

Next weekend (Oct 7) looks like a solid day to plant, though the weekend after should be easier discing (see attachment)

Trusting a 10-15 day forcast seldom turns out good for me. 5 day - maybe. 3 day - probably. Tomorrow - normally accurate.

My advice is always to wait until at least the first week of October. Given weather predictions, I would plant now.

I planted last week. South Laurens county.
The beans are sprouting but the oats haven't popped up yet.
I hope the oats get it in gear before the deer eat all of the peas.

Gonna plant Friday evening and sat morning. Good luck to all.

Next weekend (10/14-15) looks like easier plowing and moist dirt.

See attachment

Im going to plant then

 

[Miguel Cervantes]

Thanks. I guess I'll just plant next weekend or the next and hope for the best!

We should have a slow rain moving in around the 16th / 17th. Don't miss the window to getting your seed in the ground prior to that date. It'll turn off decidedly colder after that front passes.

 

[sowgabuckstalker]

Got it all in the ground, now hope the rains come down. Cheers and good luck to all!

Today

I planted 2 different areas today. 1 area with Wintergrazer rye, winter peas, radish and sugar beets, The other with wheat, oats and the peas, radish and beets.
I got cameras on both and put a deer excluder in to observe which the deer prefer.
Now come on NATE!

 

[GeorgeShu]

Got my plots planted in the dust today. Drove thru rain on the way to the house. Hoping Nate will bring wide spread rains to get everyone's plots up and growing.

 

[deers2ward]

Im planting on saturday.....look forward to discing in some moist soil

 

[bckwzlineman]

I took a gamble on Nate, he bluffed, I called, and lost, so the turkeys got one fine buffet to pick over, will replant before next sure 100% rain

 

[ucfireman]

I planted on Saturday and got 2+ inches of rain. I feel for thoe who didn't get any.

 

[GeorgeShu]

I planted a week ago, Nate came through for me, plus 2 added showers since.

Little bitty plants now but they will grow, I am confident.

 

[Canuck5]

A good start! Can't wait to get down there and check on mine!
