Default RE: What to plant in Alabama?

I'd just throw a mixture ofsome wheat oats and rye out around the 3rd or last week of september, depending on whether you wanna bow hunt the area or gun hunt only. I've planted as late as two weeks before gun season comes in, mid November, andhad no problems. Make sure you disc the plot at least 3 weeks in advance and let some rain hit it, then disc it again and drag it before you plant. Make sure toapply some triple 13 fertlizer on it and plant before a rain, then sometime in December throw some nitrogen on it, it'll green up real nice. Big Buck Blend from your local Co-op works really well, it's a mixture of wheat oatsrye and your choice of either clover or peas. I've planted the clover big buck blend past 2 years, makes for a nice plot. I've heard Tecomate makes nice plots for less suitable terrain and soils.
