Second year clover/chickory and then some
 

Im impressed with the Whitetail Institutes Imperial Clover/Chickory this year. Last year I was a bit upset that it looked so straggly but so far, and its still early....looking strong. I also decided to add another 1/2 acre plot of sweet corn, sweet beets, and purple turnip. So far the second plot is just coming up and already getting hammered!

Here are some pics of the clover







Here is the newest plot of the corn, turnip and beets that are sprouting, and getting slammed already. The first few pics are getting the plot turned and prepped...these seeds were planted almost 1 month ago....

Your plot looks good, and gives me some hope. My thoughts are they come in better the second year than the first, but being this is my first crack at it not positive. Went over to check on the 2 acres that was planted about 10 days ago and it appears to be starting to come up....with the recent rains and cool nights I know that is only helping since it has been rather dry up to that point.

I don't suppose anyone knows of a Left Coast Muley version of grasses?

My first year I thought I would just as easily turned the ground and started over. I hung in there, and even before I started anything, early in the spring gobbler, the clover was twice as what it was the previous year, and still growing. You may not get the results you want the first year, but with patience, weed control, and good rains the second year will bring the plots that bring in the feeders. I have my cameras on different parts trying to get some type of regular sighting and feeding times to use in my early season bow hunts, and the year ending week of harvesting doe. It also will allow me to find the trails that are bringing them in for an ambush shot on the bucks that seem to hang out on the outskirts watching for the does to start feeding. I will be waiting with patience, and the abilty to set up a hundred yards away and hit them on their entrance to these plots.
