Neighbor has a drill, prolly see if I can borrow it.

That'd be a good idea. I like to see stuff that grows in rows.?

I didn't put the time in this year that I usually do and it showed. Usually by opening day I've been cutting down corn for a month but this year the corn just wasn't drying down quick enough to cut it before season opened. Corn is awesome usually.

I will start planting on 10/1/2020. there should be lots of moisture in the ground, but because I don't see a lot of rain in the forecast, after Tuesday, I will be doing very little tilling to help preserve that moisture. I'll spread my big seed, then straighten my discs, lightly go over everything, cultipack and then broadcast more clover.

All my plots have clover in them now, except for 1, so I am not going to tear up "food" to plant more "food". Just going to add to the buffet!

These are the turnips, radish and wheat planted on 9/11/2020. Starting to come on!

Planted 4 plots 12-14 September into well-amended soil. Pics from this past weekend with my daughter. Mix of wheat, oats, abruzzi rye, PTTs, radishes, and kale. Very thankful for the September rains and happy with results so far. Will be adding some clover to selected spots. Ready for the youth/muzzleloader opener!

What type of trees do you have planted in the back of this plot?

 

[SakoL61R]

Gogators,
Multiple pear varieties, most from The Wildlife Group, jap persimmons, and some crabapples.
Dang block party every night with a few daylighters as well. The tree in the pic is a Dixie Delight from TWG, planted in 2013.

I am all done planting for this year and have changed out of my work shoes and put my disco boots on. Doin' the rain dance now!!!

Got my plot planted with abruzzi rye and durana clover yesterday afternoon.

Just planted my small plot for the first time with a 5-way mix and some purple top. This was an old logging deck that had a lot of scrub trees and under brush that I cleared a small spot earlier this summer. Used the GroundHawg Max behind a Mule to break up the ground to get the seed down. Not expediting much but worth a try.

Took tomorrow off so I can get some seed in the ground before this rain thats coming in. I'll post up some pics tomorrow.

Going to plant Oats and Wheat. I picked up a pound of diakon radish seed to try out. Havent planted them on this club so I'm curios to see how the deer take to them.

 

[Milkman]

I have a Cuddelink on one plot to watch deer. One side benefit is it tells me the plot is up and running. Planted about 9/24

Only food plot I took a picture of. Other two are coming up good. One definitely needs some fertilizer. Put out some clover and turnips on a logging deck I’m trying to turn into a food plot. There were peas but the deer killed them off before they got any growth. Deer are hammering all the plots. Mix of radishes, clover, wheat, rye, oats, and peas.

Some food plot plantin pics from this weekend

 

[Howard Roark]

Put some 34-0-0 on the plots today in Wilkes County.

 

[deermaster13]

Here's some of mine. Finished spreading fertilizer this evening. I put oats,clover, wheat and rape out. Had hogs destroy one plot though.

 

[Hilsman]

Got mine planted. Only remembered to take a pic of one of them but oh well. Got any early start since I was planting solo and had to be back by a certain time. If I ever go to plant and everything goes smoothly, I’m gonna be worried. Things bouncing out of the bucket and not seeing them to loosing my phone to Problems with the tractor. I found everything including my phone and the tractor got everything done before it tore up good. Now for the pics,,,,
