Broadcasted my seed in before a "heavy rain" was expected to hit. Needless to say, the heavy part missed. Probably have only had maybe an inch of rain over the last three weeks, but probably under that. Pleased with the germination and growth that I have gotten over the last two and a half weeks. Plot is patchy, but that is due to layers of duff that I tried to spread around as a mulch layer to keep seed from getting backed off and retain whatever little moisture we get. Deer activity has certainly ramped up, so hopefully they don't eat me out of house and home. Very pleased so far. This is an experimental year and with better prep next year, I could see a massive hidey hole success story.
