I had one of the nwtf bags delivered in early March one year, and it was the year after the meal moth fiasco so I couldn't store them in the house. I decided WTH, I'll just plant them. I put them in the ground March 12. I knew they not come up until the ground warmed up, but I figured they would be there ready to come up when it did.

Wrong. Turkeys scratched up the whole patch I had to replant. No comment on what happened to the turkeys.

North40, I sure do remember that late crop you made and have seen that effect too. I have no doubt it's real.
