So after more heavy rains I finally have germination...like I keep saying, patience is key. I was just frustrated hearing how WR will grow so easily and almost anywhere!? We've been getting a lot of rain in SWPA and it sprouted finally. Good thing cause they are hammering the few turnips I...

Well after a lot more rain, I have germination! I guess it just needed more moisture. So I am stoked to say the least!

I can't get WR to grow at all this year...I've broadcast 50lbs twice in SWPA into an existing clover/brassica plot(bare spots) and nothing...

So I hunted opening day afternoon sit, I rattled a nice 8 out of the corn but he never came closer than 60 yards or so. He needs another year imo. Saw 2 other rack bucks way off and 2 doe. Great first sit. I did check on my plot and they are already hammering the turnips and the greens. I...

I checked the seeds I put in a wet paper towel again a day later and they germinated so patience is key here. Another good rain today here in SW PA. I'll get out this wknd to hunt and see what's what.

I put a few seeds in a plastic bag with a wet paper towel as suggested and two days later I got nothing…idk if that means the seeds are duds? I got the seeds at a good ag store that’s been around a long time. We got more good rain over the weekend and today. Patience is key I’m hoping.

I sprayed that back in mid July the 14th I believe and I didn't really measure but it was on the light side if anything. Also if the 24D was a problem I wouldn't think the turnips would be growing but who knows...I broadcast 50lbs but I have some in my truck bed that spilled. I'll try the...

So, I broadcast 50lbs of Winter Rye last Saturday and we had a good soaking of rain Sunday. I was pumped but when I went Thursday to check on it there was nothing growing...I can only guess birds ate all that seed? I hear nothing but how it grows literally anywhere so I was pumped to see lots...

Every time I go back, I am more and more pleased. I guess my sloppy methods are working lol I overseeded 50lbs of Winter Rye into the bare spots. I think a plot with clover, turnips and rye will be amazing. September 30th can’t come soon enough!

If anything I go lean…like you said you can go back and spot spray

Well you guys were right on patience. I don’t have as many brassicas growing as I’d hoped but they are growing. We are getting some much needed rain now and for the next few days so I am pumped to have a nice stand of clover with brassicas growing within which was my original hope.

I typically use a pallet to drag behind my quad but didn’t want to hurt any of the new growth…

meant to post this not the one from above showing the dead thatch and clover...like I said, I was happy as there were far more brassicas I could see than just a few days ago.

Well I was a little happier I noticed far more turnips coming up a few days later. This was last night. I did broadcast another half pound or so into the bare spots and we had a good downpour overnight so I'm a little more optimistic
