better later than never???

so, im down here in arkansas and a lot of folks i talk to say that they will plant their fall plots on laborday weekend. i think its because the growing season in arkansas runs a little later thanin other parts of the country.
do some of yall think thats too late??
well due to the availability of equipment i may not be able to get mine in untill the second weekend of september. now i know that thats gonna be pushin it, but im thinking that it will be nice and green for mid october and in to the winter. i have a feeder out already and some growth from a half hearted spring plot. deer are in there, but this mixture of winter wheat, oats, winter peas and some clover should bringem in and hold them come late season. thats what im telling myself anywayz.
what are some thoughts of you guys and gals??
any advice or opinions would be great. thanks

I am over in Oklahoma and you will never catch me putting in a plot before the first of September. The prime time is between the 1st and 15th of Septemeber. Your plots will be perfect come the second week or so of October, given you get enough rain.

Good Luck

Sounds like you will be good to go WF! Thanks for helping out a fellow Arkansan!

Here in Alabama....my dad only rifle hunts.....so, he doesn't plant ANYTHING til the first week of November. That gives it 3 weeeks to start coming up. It comes up FAST and is beautiful in no time. If he plants it early, all the deer demolish it before we can hunt it. lol lol

As long as you get it in 60 days before the first frost, you are golden...

Beautiful!!! thanks for the words of wisdom. as a person that often over thinks stuff, this has helped ease my mind. and they did kill my spring plot. so this will be great. i am absolutely stoked about this season.

It really depends what seeds you are planting. If your planting something like turnips or brassicas that need to muture to get the bulbs on the bottom then it might be too late. If your planting wheat, oats, clover, chicory, etc. then you have nothing to worry about. I could plant clover and alfalfa her in kansas till october 1st and be fine.
