I've got a spot all worked over and ready to go and I'm itching to get some planted but with it so dry I just can't do it. Need about 30mm of rain just to get the ground wet probably. Anyone else in the same boat? How late would you plant your brac's? If it stays dry for too long I"m thinking it might be a good year for fall rye. |

i rolled the dice with my brassicas had them planted by saturday night.I heard there was possibility of rain for monday did not rain. Next forecasted rain for Manitoulin Island is for friday. If these plots fail I will reseed them with a combo of winter wheat and ladino clover. |

You should be ok. Last year when I planted we didn't get much rain for the first 2-3 weeks and they did OK. This year was a funny year so far. |

Did the same thing Barr....rolled the dice and just got in from planting. We have 3 days of rain in the forecast...now let's just hope we don't get so much that it washes everything out

Finally got mine in at the end of July. Later than I would have liked but added lots of nitrogen so still hoping for a good crop. Lots of rain since I planted so I should be ok. |
