Brassicas

About 10 days ago I no-till drilled brassicas into a killed off clover plot that had a lot of foxtail in it. It was a plot that I frost seeded red clover last spring and didn't keep up on foxtail/weed control. Hatch quite a lot of thatch and appears that I don't have a very good stand because of thatch. Definitely a fair amount coming along but not near what I want. Should I till it up and replant brassicas right now? Or should I leave it alone and drill in rye/wheat/radish mix 9/1? Not sure if the rye/wheat/radish combo is going to have much more luck coming through the heave thatch/mulch?
The bigger the seed, the more energy it has to push through that initial thatch layer and find sunlight.
That being said, if you want brassicas you still have time to till and replant. Should have some stored nitrogen in the soil from the terminated clover too.
