CL,
Mine set 2 1/2 weeks without the rain that was promised. Turkeys ravaged my plots, mostly the wheat, but the clover hung in there and after the last 2 rains we got here it looks great. Turns out the turkeys don't see every bit of wheat and they can't see the clover. Hang in there for rain.

Nature is an amazing process. The viability of seed over long periods of drought never ceases to amaze me. I mowed, sprayed and broadcast buckwheat seed into my plots in mid-July. We did not receive a drop of rain from July 4th until early September. Yet about half of the buckwheat seed I broadcast germinated with that early September rain. The seed had been lying on top the ground, uncovered through the hottest, driest 2 months in recorded history, yet it was still viable. The turkeys ate the other half of the seed.

I just hope the fall brings regular rain....
I am concerned about the "vacumn" over Tennessee where we just dont get any substantial rain fronts from the gulf. Hopefully there is change coming. Most of the serious heat has left, bring on the moisture!!
