Hey all,
I thought I knew what I was doing but I didnt plan on this.
I planted 3/4 acre of Dwarf Essex Rape. It started to come up nicely.
I also planted 3/4 acre of Clover/turnip mix. Well the majority of the clover seed must have not germinated or was really old. Turnips came in nicely with a little clover coming in.
Well, having almost drought conditions this summer didnt help my plot which is in pure sand. Its almost all dead, not just dead but dried up and completely gone. The rape thats not dead the deer have already eaten and the clover is so thin that I would RUP it all if it wasnt for the turnips/rutebegas.
Long story short. I want the best possible plot for this fall either straight rye or rye/brassicas mix and I want the best clover plot for next year. I think my turnips/rutebegas are worth keeping for now.
I was thinking about planting rye and clover at the same time but was thinking the rye may choke out the new clover plants this fall and next spring.
Any ideas?
Dean
