My seed has been in the ground for almost 2 weeks. Yesterday, it was like there was a rain barrier about 2 miles away. All day long, not a drop of rain. My plot might just be a complete bust this year.

Unless something eats the seed it should still grow once it gets wet.

Ended up getting sprinkles. ( Just part of it.) It will rain eventually, the grains should pop right up, whenever we do get rain.

I saw drops on the concrete, but that's it. I'm getting deer pictures everyday at the new ridge ladderstand location. Good sign. No big bucks yet, but it took a week to start getting pictures. No rain to clear out my sweaty scent in the woods.

Unless something eats the seed it should still grow once it gets wet. Yep. I’m hoping for this. I can’t really tell from my cameras whether anything has sprouted. And about 1/3 of the area is shaded and was holding moisture. I need to make the time to drive down and actually check things out.

I got down to my property today. The plot germination does not look great but there is growth. Now I'll have to see if anything can weather the upcoming dry conditions. I planted 3 various Big Tine mixtures so I'll be curious to see the outcome. Main Event: Last Stand: Buck Brunch: The plot is in timber so there is maybe 4-5 hours of sunlight. I also did 2 DIY soil tests and was a little surprised to see the pH level near neutral at 6.0-7.0 pH. I am also not positive that I trust the tests. But, I figured I would give the "Tractor Supply" tests a try.

Been drizzling to light rain for the last 3 hours, and it looks like will continue for the next couple hour's. Better than nothing.

Put up my “Rope A Dope” this morning. I used a fence slat so I had two ropes. One side is a double rope and the other side is a single. Put a grapevine and a tree beach on for good measure. Rubbed a little Black Widow Branch Butter on each.

Food plot is looking pretty decent considering we have only had one decent rain. Maybe heavy fee is keeping it going?
