[QUOTE="TexasShooter, post: 136451, member: 359"] Update… I did go ahead and plant the seed the weekend of Sept. 21st. I did so because the forecast for hurricane Rita and the rainfall wasn’t going to be as bad as they had predicted. They were right! Not only did we not get anything then, we have not had any rain since before I threw the seed. I checked the other day and the seed is still covered but hadn't germinated. I heard the other day that this the 4th worst year on record for rainfall. I have been feeding hay since Aug/Sept. I haven’t thrown any fertilizer on the seed because I was waiting for it to come up first…and of course it hasn’t. My question’s are…. 1. Is the seed I threw out over 2 months ago okay? 2. Weathermen are calling for rain on Sun/Mon. I am going to throw out fertilizer 200 lbs. per/acre this evening. If we don’t get any rain (I’m not feeling very positive), will the fertilizer and the seed be okay - until we do get rain…who knows…weeks or months? Thanks, [/QUOTE]
