Talk to a lot of people that never really had luck with them. I've planted them here and Kentucky and came up great but deer aren't big fans. Just wondering why so many food plot blends with them?
I think many of the national food plot blends are geared toward the midwest, or areas north of here. With our summer-like fall and mild winter, our plots and our deer behave differently. The bitter cold of late season draws deer into these plots in areas farther north. The greens go first, then they start on the bulbs, which last longer under the soil. Around here, they don't mess with the bulbs, and don't hit the forage hard until after the season.
If you're looking for greens, the dwarf essex rape works better for me, although I have heard good things about the daikon radish.
I know they are different plants but what about chicory this time of year?
Mine have been hit pretty good. The cold temperatures have killed some of them, but I was up there Saturday and they have some pretty good sized bulbs over a foot long.
