Well the beans I planted grew...then were eaten! Won't make any grain, even though a few are trying to flower, but they did what I wanted them to do. These are new plots on a ROW, so I wanted something roundup ready and that they'd eat. Both goals accomplished. Next year, we'll use a bit more seed and hopefully get the plots a bit bigger.
Only bean plants I could find that weren't bitten were the ones hiding in the grass I missed when I sprayed them 2 weeks ago. Fat guy, hot sun, and a 1gal hand sprayer do not result in the most even of spraying.
I'll head down in a couple of weeks and lightly disk the plots under and spread the fall food stuff. Gonna be a mix of oats/winter peas in a couple and brassica's in the others.
These are mostly to set up good places for the kids to get on deer, but the work part of it sure is fun.
