A fair amount of volunteer Egyptian wheat is coming in. Some of it is doing fine and some of it is struggling like the one below. It’s a plant known to be finicky. This is one of the reasons I say that you are better off to turn things around with weeds instead of worrying about trying to plant crops. Weeds are soldiers. They will thrive in hostile conditions where as other more finicky plants may struggle. Weeds still get the job done in these situations. They are my summer cover crop.





Remember that deer are just goats. Despite only growing healthy weeds….I still have deer readily browsing in the fields at night.





This is some kind of wild brassica….a turnip like plant....healthy and being browsed.





This some kind of briar. Healthy and being browsed. I’d take a field full of them. Everyone has been browsed and the bushy ones look like they’ve had hedge trimmers taken to them.
