My Summer plot for early season is bush beans and kale. The deer love both. First year planting a plot like this. I usually plant clover and chicory. I'll let you know how the experiment turns out.
What it looks like now. I also threw in some BRT Buckstopper to fill in any holes. Thats a turnip radish mix.
I've tried every concoction there is. Can't say I've EVER. Had a successful plot when seeds of a big difference in size flourished. One dominated the other.
The experiment is working pretty good for me this year. Tons of kale, beans and huge turnips and sugar beets. Very surprised with how lite rain we've had.
