I’m not sure. I’ve always called them poplar. Any chance they're balsam poplar? From what I’m reading they’re probably big tooth poplar. They root sprout when cut.

Walked around in the plot today when retrieving the deer. Felt like a cobblestone street under a couple inches of snow. Frozen turnips galore.

They moved onto the brassicas a lot sooner than I was expecting this year. Last year they made it until mid October without much use. I think I’m going to move up my planting time earlier into July with the no till method. Whats your seeding rate with the no till? Im thinking of just doing turnips and radish this year an skipping the DER I have used in the past

Im thinking of just doing turnips and radish this year an skipping the DER I have used in the past I'm still experimenting, I applied these at what would have been about 4 lbs per acre. It turned out decent, I might go a little bit heavier this year, but not much. Catscratch has has much more experience with no till and I would be interested in his rate. I think with smaller seeds you don't need to adjust much for no-till compared to regular broadcasting rate.

Biggest problem I have is telling customers that throwing more brassica seed out then you really need is bad. I tell everyone to know the size of your plot so you broadcast the correct amount. More is not good when it comes to Brassica seed. 8lbs per acre 8-10 weeks before your first average frost and lots of N when they start growing!

Mo Is that would you recommend for throw and grow or drilling them in? That is heavier than we normally drill them in.

I threw them at about 10LBS (maybe a little more actually) last year and fertilized the hell out of them. I also got lucky with perfect rain. They turned out fabulous. But I have all sorts of duff and crap on my dirt from the mulcher.

What is the easiest brassica seed to get established? My Aug 1 plan is to broadcast into short dead grass ...good soil.

My go-to brassica mix is DER, groundhog radishes and purple top turnips. I've had good luck overseeding them on freshly sprayed ground. I did that a little over a week ago and if we get rain I'm expecting a decent amount of deer food.

I know that was LC's thing but I just find the tubers to get soft and mushy and then stink. I'm putting more rape and PTT in my mix now and no radish. Seems to be better for me at least.
