I'm not ready to call my fall plots failed yet, but I'm concerned so looking for some help in my contingency planning. I live in West KY and planted August 22
My plots were:
oats/clover
oats/chicory
I had some good rain that following week, and nothing at all since. This week and next, we have temps forecasted all the way up to the high 90's, with no rain. My opportunity for replanting if needed will be limited and I don't plan to do it unless necesary.
So here is my question- based on the type of plot planted- how and what are some replant strategies where I could have some fall food, but not totally ruin the chance for some of the chicory and clover to come up next spring and establish. Open ended- what would you do in this scenario- assuming when I get to the farm to check it, the plots are not growing. If the best answer is wait it out, I can do that too, but I would like at least some plot food this fall.
Thanks in advance!
