Food Plots Dry spell

[tnbucs1]

Planted some plots over this past weekend and despite our unusually wet summer I see no rain in the forecast for the near future. Hope this changes.

[W.Seay]

Me too! Looks like ill be replanting!

I'm little worried about a short drought as I got 4 customers plots to plot and my own to get planted. Why did I start working a real job again :crazy:

 

[southernhunter]

if it turns off dry thats just going to suck after this wet summer

 

[TS_13]

Yep..... I am not thinking about planting for at least a couple of weeks.... too much time and money to jump early.

Yep I planted clover and turnips the day after the last rain we had. LOL

Calling for 40% chance Monday here . I think I'll take a shot at it this weekend .

Good extended soak this way today!! Hope it clears up tonight to knock down some doves, but we needed it bad! My plots were starting to get burnt, but this should save them!

 

[muddyboots]

Rained off and on all day here.

 

[Boone 58]

Got a good shower today!

 

[tnbucs1]

Yep I think we lucked out over the weekend.

Think I'll chance it with a portion of my area. Still a lot of ground moisture and maybe I can get lucky with a shower along the way. I'll finish prep work all over.

Nothing still on the Alabama / tennessee line in Lincoln county .

Hope I didn't make a mistake in planting what I planted between August 29 and Sept 2. It should all be coming up now and over next few days (got rained on Sept 2), but no rain in forecast now for nearly two weeks.

I keep remembering something Dr. Woods said, something to the effect, more seed is wasted on Labor Day than any other day (planting too early).

I planted 7 small plots on August 31 and got rain that night and the morning of Sept 1 but since then nothing. They just sprouted and came up about 1 inch tall. It looked healthy Saturday (Sept 7th) but if we don't get rain in the next week I don't know. What irritates me is that I wasn't able to plant a single thing for Spring/Summer plots because of rain and standing water and now it's going to do a reverse on me. Blasted weather.

We planted 10 acres no-till yesterday, still had plenty of moisture in the ground

 

[timberjack86]

No rain on my plots in 2 weeks

According to weather.com, Sept is the 2nd driest average month (3.6") of the year. So far 0" to date for the month of Sept. Knowing this makes me want to rethink when I plant.
