"Falcon: What was the planting date on that plot?"

On or about 28 April.

"BTW, thatplot looks great, but do deer eat milo?"

Usually not. But the hogs tear up theplots for the heads as soon as they find it. The quail take up residence in the plots when the seed heads get ripe and the grains fall off. It is a good idea to walk around the plot with a long stick knocking the grains off for the quail.

All i did for site preparation was to disk well, fertilize and scatter the seed. Covered up the seed with the disk. The milo in that plot is much too thick and the cow peas were not planted thick enough.
