We have had almost no rain for a couple of weeks now and only sprinkles tonight. I believe we need to wait for the heat wave to leave and some decent rain fall to come before we do anything serious.

Rico,
I wouldn't recommend planting until soil moisture improves significantly, even if that means not planting until mid-October. I will wait that long if that's what it takes. Planting into dry soil means you just threw all your seed away and you'll have to buy it all again.

I'm waiting for the moisture. Otherwise it's just expensive bird feed.

good advise
Even if youre worried about spooking the deer in the area by planting during season I wouldn't, it doesn't bother them in the least + the plants are most atractive to the deer when they first sprout up . I have my soil tilled and ready now so when it rains it will soak up every drop .I'm figuring on late sept before I can plant, but it all depends on the rain. good luck

I agree. Definitely wait for the soil moisture to improve.
