I normally plant around the 1st week of October but I'm thinking about prepping this week and getting it in the ground after this rain event. The Gulf is looking like we should be getting some more rain after this one.

Thoughts ?

Probably be fine......I'm waiting another couple weeks on cooler weather.

I planted some before this round of rain, will plant some more later. Mainly planted stuff that need extra days of growth before first frost.

Yep, think this is going to be one of those rare years where conditions will support early planted brassicas. I have a small spot I got out ahead of this rain.

I’ve planted 7 acres of clover and brassicas only with a drill. I’m going to wait on everything else until October.

We planted and have gotten 2 good rains on it with more forecast. I plant by rain forecast, not a calendar. We get zero rain here in October.

Ole 257 put around fifty acres in the ground a couple days ago before the rain hit, he’s happy. Not going to question a man that has farming in his blood.

Yea, I've been planting plots since the early 90's. It's all about moisture, not a calendar. After September 1st, I look for temp drop and a significant rain event. Usually it's a hurricane or tropical storm.

Going to top seed into some clover patches tomorrow and may plant a brassica plot. Going to wait on everything else another couple weeks.

There's really no need in being in a rush to get them in......"Normal" planting times really arent until later in the fall.....Folks tend to push the front end of the planting window simply due to the opening bow season dates

Actually, if you look on the the seed bags, it plainly states September thru October, but again these are calendar dates. Plant 30 days before the first frost. It's according to what your planting. Brassicas should be planted earlier than cereal grains. Plant when you want to, but I've been doing this for 30 years and when I've planted using the throw and mow method ahead of a significant rain event, I've had zero problem. Maybe some of yall get good rainfall in October, the driest month, in Alabama. We don't. Upper alabama versus lower alabama are 2 different things.

Still mighty early, what's the rush? Still plenty of time for it to be hot and dry, like last year.

We disked all the club plots Saturday. Probably sling seed ahead of the next rain.

I slung out some seeds in drizzling rain this morning. We shall see.

gonna bush hog everything this weekend and probably plant the 2nd week in october

Disced this weekend. Going to watch the weather to seed.

Watching the weather, but hoping to plant this weekend in Coosa County. Fields are ready to plant.

Temps going right back up to 90 degrees this week......Come on cold front!!

My brassicas are sprouted and the the ground is covered with a good layer of thatch, so I should be good.

Wish i would hav planted clover this weekend - too wet to go out now
