I planted brassicas this year and they grew very well, however the deer won’t touch them lol. The ground is frozen and a cpl inches of snow here now and when the odd deer comes to the plot it just picks at the clover around the edge.
So, I am thinking of trying soybeans, cowpeas and oats next summer. I’ve always had decent luck with clover but I would like to get to annual plantings if possible and I hear good things about soybeans. I might even do half the plot in clover and the other half soybean mix.
Just looking for any advice on if it’s a good idea or a bad one lol. There is no agricultural ground within 20 miles of my plot so if I can plant something they really like it should draw a few deer.
Another question I have is when should I plant soybeans here? I’m in Nova Scotia. I would like to have pods for them to eat once the snow comes
Thanks
