And it took until April to get above 32.....it's long. /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif
Anyhow....I got a sample pack from whitetailinstitute, it looks great, pretty good deal I think. Going to plant the perennial test plots seperate from what I want to do with the 1/4 acre. Perennials are alfa rack, clover and chicory, want to see what they'll do. I'm thinking annual for the 1/4 acre and well....this is Saskatchewan, and I'm not getting seed for anything other than wheat, peas, canola, lentils, barley, oats or chickpeas, so I like the looks of these "pricey" mixes.
I'm likely going order a small bag of either, "secret spot", "wintergreens" or "pure attraction". I'm going to be trying the plot in the middle of the woods so sunlight will be good for about 8-10 hrs a day but not direct. Anyone out there with any experience with any of these? I'm really excited to give this a try but realize that this first yr will be a big learning experience and alot of hard work. The annual route seems like a better fit for me this yr b/c the plot will liekly go in late and b/c of other available food sources I'm looking for something they will hit after the alfalfa starts to brown off.
