Time for an update on this spring’s plantings.
In one of the posts above (Day 4 planting) I seeded the edge of my new 10 acres with a nice barrier of sunflowers. We have had a little bit of rain since May 18, the day it was planted, and it sprouted at about 7 - 8 days. I planted them at an inch and a half and the stand looks pretty darn good. I planted these into standing Rye which was only about 6-8 inches tall at the time. I did not spray this area. You will see in a few of the next posts how I am doing a bit of experimenting with spray vs. roller crimp and even a small patch of till vs no-till. How is a guy to know unless he tries it side by side is the way I figured it.
These sunflowers are today June 2. You can clearly see them but I did get right in the row of Rye in some places.
