I live in the southeast and will hold off until the first or second week of September.
Jake,br> It all depends on where you are. Whitetail has a color-coded map that shows the different regions. My home is in the heart of Minnesota. In June, I applied Roundup, and in mid-July, I disced the leftovers. I started planting in late July. The Tall Tubers were a big hit with the Deer. Sadly, every night during deer season, I could hear them digging and eating in my plot. By the end of the year, it had been completely depleted. Best of luck to you.
It was fresh seed from the most recent crop year.

I added a dash of lime and a tenth of a cup of 10 pound of fertilizer It took about four years to establish itself after that. After 6 weeks, I supplemented it with nitrogen. There was nothing particularly scientific about what I did; all I used were a few bags of lime, fertilizer, and two bags of nitrogen-rich fertilizer. It took a while for the seeds to germinate because there had been no rain for about 7 days. It is approximately 8-inches long. It's now 10" tall, and we've just started getting frost on it, which I believe is when the deer began to hit it. Turkeys dusted in the plot, resulting in bare spots. Will purchase again, and with better soil preparation, it will perform even better. There was a lot of compacted soil in this area.
It's fantastic; just follow the directions and it'll turn out beautifully. This photo was taken in Northern Michigan after three weeks of growth with little fertilizer.
I was a few minutes late in getting the seed spread out. Because I didn't get the soil tested, I applied lime to half of the plot but not the other. There hasn't been much of a change after a month. I'm not sure what percentage of seeds germinate, but I'm satisfied. After 3 weeks, you should have a large number of 2 inch tall sprouts.
They're a big hit with the deer. These were planted in late October, right before a storm. I didn't even bother to cultivate the plants according to the instructions. They grew quickly after I simply sowed them on top of pine needles and grasses. The deer have already begun to root in them, despite the fact that they are not yet fully mature. I wish I'd planted them about four weeks ago.
In none of the three locations did it come up. Brush and weeds were cleared away. Spots: 1). Thrown on the ground in bare dirt, shaded from direct sunlight for 6 hours. 2) tilled, fertilized, and limed with a 6-pound bag of lime 8 hours of sunlight per day - It hasn't shown up yet. 3). Fertilizer was applied to the field's edge. South is the direction of travel. Competitors' products, as well as the whitetail institute's beets and clover, appeared in the same locations.
This appears to be preferable to corn for the deer. I've seen deer walk past feeders with corn laying on the ground, eating the tops of the tubers on several occasions. I'm going to buy more!.
I'll be purchasing this seed in the future.
These have to be Jack in the Beanstalk's miraculous seeds! In three days, I had plants after planting them according to the instructions. Awesome.
