I wouldn't plant till I had sufficient moisture. If the oats sprout and don't soon have rain the little plants will die and you have wasted a lot of money.

Same here,

Don't waste your time planting without moisture or good rain on the horizon. Even if you feel
it is getting late in the year. I know this from experience. [:@]

You can't predict the weather, but at least try to time your planting or it will be all for nothing.
