Food Plots Drought to frost

[JBell]

So finally got my seed germinated with that much needed rain. Woke up this morning to a frost. What's this gonna do to my seed? Will the ground temp protect the roots? Or should I be ready to top sow with wheat?

 

[JCDEERMAN]

What was the temp? It's usually more tolerant than most think. With warmer and sunshine days ahead, should be fine

I have Austrian peas and a ton of other stuff mixed. Peas are my primary seed though. It was only supposed to be 36-37. But it did frost

If your deer like the peas as much as mine do, they'll eat them all as soon as they sprout. I sure would love to get a field of Austrian Peas sometime but so far it has been nothing but frustration. As soon as the deer find them, they are all gone.

It'll be fine. I got like 3 frosts last week and mine's rocking right along now.

 

[JCDEERMAN]

The longest process in this is root establishment. When that is complete and the stuff gets 1-4 inches, it will explode and a very fast rate. Mine is in this stage at about 3 inches. Need some sunshine days now and temps around 70...It is looking good!

I've tried peas before. I rarely see a bloom come springtime. It's all gone except for the ones scattered around the garden.
