    Nice! Mine are just getting some growth planted later than usual. The clover I planted with them is just making a fair showing a well. The WR that I cut and dragged then planted turnips and clover in, completely took over and is nearly all rye. That idea worked a bit too well.
    I like your blind set.

    After zooming in, I see quite a few purple/ off colored leaves. Did you fertilizer the plot or have any standing water for a while?

    His soil looks pretty moist but usually it's a sign of phosphorus deficiency. I also use lime that contains magnesium and fertilizer with iron.
    that said his looks way better than mine this year....

    Even with the last fertilizing the turnips are real slow. The winter wheat is an inch high already.

    That plots looks real good.
    Didn't mean to sound rude.
    I've made every mistake in the book food plotting over 20 years and I've noticed that the property amount of fertilizer and right mixture is key to good/ green growth.

    Not my plot ,but I don't think you sounded rude. You said nothing I didn't notice and I bet him as well.
    Sometimes such observations can be very beneficial to plotters followong. Highlighting things we do not realize or just over look.
    Such as i.e. Planting brassica in an area that 24db has been used on a clover, alfala or bean plot. Research shows a residual effect on brassica can last up to 40 months stunting growth.
