Good to see you up and active brother. I know it's hard to sit still. I really am glad you're able to do what you're doing because your threads always make me smile. Stay strong brother!
Thanks for the kind words, fellers!
Got the plot within a plot prepared to plant Saturday and ran into a problem finding Wren's Abruzzi Rye seed in Washington County. Monday, had to travel up to Campbellton to get a bag of seed, then it started raining in the afternoon and it rained all night, 3 1/2" in the gauges. Will be a few days till dry enough to plant. Should have a sufficient stand of green by Thanksgiving morning.

The dirt finally got right after the 3.5" Monday night and Tuesday morning.
Seems like we are runnin' a little late, but according to a the regional biologist's words and publication, optimum planting dates for Rye is Oct. 15-Nov.15 in the panhandle. Remember, we're still huntin' at the end of February in this part of Florida.
Planted the plot this morning. This is the smallest deer plot I have planted in years, hope it does what it's supposed to do.
Here are some pictures showin' how it went..

Update: Planted 5 days ago, the Wren's Abruzzi Rye is shining from end to end! When it 1st sprouts it has an unusual color, it almost looks red/brown/yellow for a few days before it turns green. Got a couple of pictures of the Rye this mornin' and there were a couple of pictures on the game camera of some other little fellers that have just recently sprouted.

Hope to see pics of one floppin in that plot come Thanksgiving morning
