A summery of my plots this year would be I sprayed early to get ahead of the weeds, I didn't get back to do mid Summer work and ended up with this mess.
After a weekend of bush hogging and spraying it looked like this.
Another weekend of tilling and planting and they looked like this.
Plot #1
Plot #2 & #3
Plot #4
Plots #5 & #6 look a lot like #4
They are all considered to be annual plots at the recommendation of Dutch and others to allow me to gain control of the weeds.
Plot #1 is split with Whitetail Green Patch Mix consisting of bruiser diploid ryegrass (against my better judgment it was in the mix) groundhog radishes, greenfix Peas, athena Rape, Crimson Clover, Ladino Clover) and a brassica mix
Plot #2 is a brassica mix
Plot #3 is rye (grain)
Plot #4 is split with rye (grain) and a brassica mix
Plots #5 & #6 are both a brassica mix
Plots #1,#3,& #4 all got an area of sugar beets as well
I plan to visit the plots again in two weeks, if we got rain and they have started to grow I'll post some progress pics then.
