Well I got out to check the plots briefly this weekend. After a few weeks of some cooler weather and a few good rain showers it seems like the clover is starting to fill in nicely and a few good patches of chicory coming along. Mixed results on brassicas, last time I checked them they seemed to be coming along nicely, this time it appears most have been nibbled down to nothing. It'll be interesting to see if we get any bulbs or not. I overseeded 50lbs of rye about a week ago and noticed some shoots coming up as well. I'll try to get down to take a few pictures of the plot sometime this week.
The deer have been grazing it heavily. It is not uncommon to catch 5+ deer on the plot in the morning and evenings. My only hope is that there is till some forage left by the time the season rolls along. As I anticipated, I'll have to go substantially bigger next year.
