Yea perfect toming on the rain,seeded yesterday and rained hard all night here.Should be popping out of the ground on 3 days or so.
Hey at least you know your barrel and hose system works Chad.

And we're getting more rain!

My buddies plot is starting to look good. That watering I did and the rain we got really helped.

Lookin good. The plot we planted on the 21st looks like Death Valley. Not a drop of rain since we planted it, probably is going to be a total loss. How long can seeds lay on the ground and still germinate?

If they are laying on the ground I'm sure the birds are eating the hell out of them. Since I cleared the spot in my woods for my new plot I've noticed several turkey feathers laying around. I got 4-5 turks on camera when I last check and I'm sure they were in there dusting themselves and pecking my seeds out of the ground. Carroll county didn't get any rain last night? Kind of looked like that storm was headed that way. But to answer your question, I was just out to check my plot today and I have germination already from the watering I did on Saturday, those seeds were in the ground for 3 weeks.

The rain stayed about 5 miles north of the property. This spring the rain was destroying my trails. Now that I'd like to see a little rain it isn't around. Just my luck. The seeds are so small that I can't imagine the birds could find them.

 

[Bigslam51]

What did you plant? Looks like they are calling for rain this coming week but I'm sure it'll be down to nothing by then.

 

[Hortontoter]

Basically a mix of brassicas and red top turnips.

That really sucks. I'm probably going to have to go out and water mine again if we don't get this chance of rain they are calling for Wednesday and Thursday.

[Bigslam51]

Sorry to keep posting about rain, Jesse. But we are getting a steady downpour right now and it feels like one of those all night rains[emoji38]

 

[Bigslam51]

The rain sure helped. All the new growth sprouting up should fill in nice. Maybe the new plot will be a success after all!

 

[Spencie]

That's cool!!!
