Aldeer.com Forums Alabama Deer Talk Quality Deer Management Throw n Mow Q&A

Mine are still coming along. I feel like they are slower to the eye as far as growth. I'm attributing it to the lack of brown to green contrast possibly??? My first plot is thickening up and becoming solid green and passing the eye test.

I am curious about Brassicas though. When do you plant them so they can get "tall"? I planted a TnM Brassica plot (majority brassica) on 9/28 and got great germination. They are nice and green but I see no way they will get 6" tall before a good first frost. I'm sure they'll grow a bit more after that, but approximately when in NW Central AL (heck Fayette Co.) do y'all plant brassicas to get decent growth and maximum tonnage. I assume early September? I just worry about worms.
