A better bet would be a Fall planting (mid Aug to early Sept) of a Brassica based blend. Brassicas will grow practically anywhere with minimal care and prep time. Brassicas also produce maximum tonage and have explosive growth. In no time at all that tiny plot would be thigh high with lush Brassicas like turnip, rape, etc.
Have you had the deer reallly hit your Brassica hard when it grows. Iknow it issuppose to belike candy todeer when itfreezes because of the sugar, butI have heard thatBrassicareallyis a hit or miss?
