We were able to get seed in the ground yesterday. 100 pounds of round-up ready soybeans over a couple different plots (the one below plus another). We also did a couple very small plots where we threw our some bird seed (sunflower, millet, etc.) I've never wanted it to rain in north Alabama so bad in my life!

Hope they do well.
Just a little help... If you planted any where the grass is, you better get it sprayed.

Looking like a decent chance of precip mid- week, otherwise brutal hot.

I hope you made sure that bird seed didn't have thissel seed in it. If so you're in for a mess.

Good deal. I would keep the milorganite applied liberally. Once it wears off, they can decimate a plot in just a few short days. Some of these other guys may have good info on the size needed to "establish" the beans. I would think they'd need to reach 24" or so tall but that's nothing more than a guess. The root system needs to develop as much as possible to enable the plant to outgrow the browse pressure.

hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if they are already hitting it and it's a small plot, they probably won't last long. Normally, the first time they're planted, it takes the deer a while to find them. The second year they will wipe them out in short order unless it is a big plot or you do something to keep them out.
