    Default with almost certain tropical weather...

    gimme your thoughts on planting last season food plots within these next couple days... will it wash away or will it be great starter boost of rain? here's the plan, just unsure if i should wait until after the weather or jump on it right away...

    3/4acre in the corner of a pasture, already plowed and cleaned, but will quick disk before seeding.
    bordered on 2 sides by mixed hardwoods.
    (in the lowcountry)

    specifically a plot for deer:
    A self blended mix of kale, collards, mustard, radishes, turnips, whatever other greens the feed/garden has on hand. will probably throw some peas/beans in the mix as well.
    (broadcast and drug over with a 4wheeler and section of chainlink)

    Replanting never killed anybody. As far as the weather, nobody knows what this thing will do once it hits the Gulf Stream so just go with your gut...

    Do you have heavy soils or sandy soils?

    sandy loam, i would say.. 50+ year old pasture land. a molded handful holds form in the hand, but crumbles with a light touch.

    Tropical rain generally starts soft as outer bands come in and dumps hard and fast on the NE quadrant as the eye comes ashore. So based on where you are worst case you replant. We broadcast seed hoping for this storm as infrequent as rain has been this summer.

    I would let this thing pass, get seed in wet ground and don't look back. Might not get a drop but late September is plenty of time for oats/turnips. Just my 2 cents, that's what I'm doing.
