round up will NOT hurt ROUND UP READY SEEDS
this means seeds designed to be sprayed by round up and like chemicals, there engineered to not be killed by it
most all seeds today planted by farmers(minus organic farmers) will be round up ready, should say this on the bag!
next every seed has a growth rate from time they start growing to time there mature, NOT all seeds have the same time frame, so pending brand and engineering of seed, determines this, so unless you know exactly what seed you have, I cannot ell you when ti will be most appealing
an example, , is it a 80 day seed a 110 day seed or 120 and so on!
on average, most soybeans have a 90-120 day growth rate, and then you have to allow for them to dry, which is a lot pending on weather cooperation! could be 2 weeks or several or more l
mother nature has ways of making t fast some yrs and LONG others!
so figure on this if the bag of seeds is missing info(tags can come off)
but trying to again SAVE a 100x100 ft plot, is NOT going to be easy, even with other foods in area, things will still eat them, only way you will SAVE it is, with a portable E fence set up, which can be done for a fair price if you look, a solar charger and some wire and post, isn;t hard to fence off a 100x100 ft!
other wise, you may NOT have a plot come Oct to hunt over, as much might be long gone!
something like turnip 's or, the marketed for hunters versions, so called BRASSICIA, might be a better option,a s in these things, they typically DON"T draw deer to them till you have a few frost and then them frost change the chemical make up of things, turning other wise bitter food into sweet food, thus why they become more attractive when its colder than other plantings!
there seeds are cheap, but they some times need better soils, than beans do to grow well!
and more tricky on treating for weeds!
some will grow a bulb/turnip, some won't and just grow a leafy plant that again gets sweeter as temps get colder!
