Any time now in your area. Maybe watch the weather the next few days and if rain is comming, Plant the day before but you should be good any time now ! Winter wheat I would hold off for a couple weeks. Give everything else a good start , Maybe a month and then broad cast the wheat in If it finds dirt, it sould grow !

How are your nitrogen levels in your soil? I would plant your forage radishes, rape seed winter peas together only if your nitrogen levels are high. Winter wheat is also nitrogen suckers. I am pretty sure I have seen on lickcreeks outreach ouitdoors forum to be cautious when planting brassicas with cereal grains because they are all nitrogen suckers. I would check his site to give you optimal growing yield for your planting project. You might have to add additional urea fertilization for your crops. Urea is 46% nitrogen and will help immensely weeks in to your growing project. Adding urea also adds an additional boost of nitrogen levels to your plantings in sept will make your crops more palable and digestable for your deer herd. |
