[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1468233, member: 27848"] "Any comments appreciated." Considering where you are (I grew up in the Houston area) and the weather we have been having I'm not sure if I'd try it. NOAA says we are in a severe drought and you show to be in a drought. You won't get much activity till you get some precip. which to me translates that you can all but kiss any grazing goodbye till just before it gets too hot and it dies.....aka forget it. But that's one opinion. If maw nature decides to wet you down, and you planted and got it now, give it 60 days to make something (if anything) you are looking at mid to late Feb at the earliest. Puts you right on top of the fence....daaa which way to go????? You win you get 3-4 months. Loose you lost time, diesel, and seed. As you know, the fert. will wait for something to feed. I I'm about 50 mi. NE of Dallas proper and planted 1 Oct. Had 1.3 inches of rain since then. Peas are about 95% germination to 4" and Jumbo Rye 80% germination and 3+". I included a good dose of fertilizer in the planting routine and contribute my growth, despite the lack of moisture, to the effect of fertilizer on a plant's ability to survive on minimal moisture. Spring time temps prevailing right now and plenty of sun. Average soil temp still suitable for germ. so in that regard, you should be good to go....... However, as I recall we got an email a few days ago from a Houston friend showing snow on the patio???????? My 2c. [/QUOTE]
