That looks pretty good Hal. How long ago? 2-3 weeks?

I can’t recall for sure but it was right before those last 2 good rains. I had already sprayed, mowed, limed and fertilizer…and disked sorry CNC. Only did this in a plot. Mixed my own stuff with more millet in it for the others. I use a firminator.

I'll just say this: WMS is the real deal. The Bumgarder boys do not sell anything that is below par. Actually, they are above par on everything they sell. If you plant it and it doesn't meet your expectations, you did something wrong or Mother Nature just did not cooperate!!!

15 acres of pea patch sprayed with clethodium a few weeks ago. The deer have found it and have nipped the tops off of all of it. I’m thinking it got enough height to bounce back.

I love Pea Patch, but in my area, you are paying for sunflowers that the deer are going to nip right as they come up. I've found that a mixture of peas, buckwheat and sorghum works better. Or, if you just want to use pea patch, but a few pounds of sorghum per acre in there to give the peas something climb on. Deer don't eat the sorghum still it seed out and then only the seeds. Oh, and if you want it to last, hit it with some milorganite either at planting or 2 weeks after to keep the off it for a few weeks and let it grow.

I think in theory peas patch was a great idea. For using our area it was just too much pressure I believe. I think if done again we would have done better to just plant beans or peas with one other item for concealment. What we planted has been nipped to nothing and over taken by grasses. Never did see a sunflower.

My experience to the T... dry period didn't help mine either
