Brassicas are a great and easy first time crop for most people. Hard to fail.
Yours look terrific tho. Yes, that urea really gives them a boost, just apply to dry leaves, no dew on them.

We are thinking beans in our turnip plots for next yr. We have 2 other plots we are gonna prep for next summer and plant turnips in those and another spot we are putting clover. We are spraying and mowing a 20 foot wide strip along any road or property that offers any type of view onto us and plantung it with some of that egyptian wheat as a barrier and any where we figure would be suitable for a blind. Big plans and a lot of work planned for next year. I will keep posting pics as we go.

Nice Pics Longbeard! Deer have been hammering my Turnip/Radish plot. All the tops are getting eaten, but they are holding up nice.

Inside our browse enclosures they are 12" taller then what on the outside. Cant wait to see what happens after frost the next 3 nights and they sweeten up.

Nothing will happen.
I truly believe that sweetening up is BS.
Frost kills most forbs in the woods, but the brassicas remain green and growing. It becomes a situation where its the only green thing left.
When brassicas are mostly left alone until this time, it shows, to me, that deer numbers are low or inline with habitat.
When the PGC planted brassicas in SGL 64 in the late 90's, in the face of huge numbers of deer, they wiped out the plots before the end of September.
These are just my random thoughts. May not be right....

Love the smile, and love the pup! Congrats!
I had 900 pics on our food plot in a week. Less than 10 during daylight.
Not worth hunting there.
