And then depression set in.....
Put in some Speltz last fall. It was supposed to be the answer for heavy clay lands you can't get out on early enough in spring to do a good job on oats. It came up fine last fall and hit about 4" tall or so which I was told was more or less right. Doesn't look like any of it overwintered. I can see all the plants in the rows, all dried up and dead. I only had a little money in seed but I was hoping to see how it worked. Too early, too late, ice, heaving, I don't know what killed it.
Now I got to figure out if I can put in a catch crop or not.
