Same small corner plot of purple-tops and seven-tops, planted on Aug. 8th. It curves back, down an old atv trail in the back, and one of my stands is 20 yards off of it, to the right. The turnips back there are still growing well with the filtered light, they just need a little extra fertilizer. I used a pole saw to let more light in down there today.
I am happy with the plot, just a little bare spot but I'm gonna let it go. Some nitrogen will to be added this week, especially around the edges where it seems there is some competition/lack of nitrogen, from the look of the tops. But no rain forcasted all week, so I'll hold out until a good rain. Other than that I think the little plot turned pretty good for my first attempt at brassicas. Definitely some growing time left for them. Early bow season is awesome in this little spot, but I want deer to stick around throughout December (they do not). Hopefully this will help, we'll see..
Its obvious some parts need nitrogen. I have 50 pounds left over, for when the next rain comes.
Size comparison pic.. Overall, this was a good learning experience, hoping to make a bigger brassica plot next year. I want to try Appin, Rape, and a couple other kinds.
