going up to the ranch this weekend to check on the milo

will advise

cross your fingers

Milo seed should be the same unless it's a named variety/hybrid. A hybrid will produce seed, but most often will revert back to the "parent" plant.
I bought corn last year to put out and it was treated "named" variety. I also had some deer corn in my truck bed when I loaded some topsoil last year and had deer corn growing in flower beds and yes, it produced corn which wasn't that bad.
As mentioned, when you buy "seed" corn/milo/peas, they are usually a named variety, where as "feed" milo or corn isn't.

Woohooo, 700 post finally!

great knowledge

So i am kind of bummed out

I went to check on the crop and nothing but 2-3 little plants had came up not sure if it was due to the lack of rain or what but i was disappointed


maybe if we get some rain they will come up i dont know

You'll be alright - soil temps still need to get up there a bit, plus another good rain. Give it a couple more weeks and let us know.

so even though the seeds have been in the ground for a month they still might germinate?

They can if they did not already sprout and die. They can lay there if they are covered with soil and come up with the next rain. The longer they go without rain then you odds go down.

Well lets hope i get some rain

I am going to plant sunflowers closer to memorial day so hopefully those take pretty well

Good luck with the sunflowers - native should be planted in January. If you have hybrids, like russian, they really should go in pretty soon. Let me know how the sunflowers go for you.

will do

thanks

planting a couple sunflower rows this weekend any tips?

So we finally got some rain

i planted milo about a month ago and we just now are getting rain.

my question is will the milo come up now that we have rain? or is it to late and burned up?

it'll probably sprout. might not be as lush & thick as if it were perfect planting conditions but it should sprout.

we shall see
