Obviously some of these things make substantially more sense than others. Of the less sensible ones, many are destined to be cover crops. That’s okay to me - - some are actually from a cover crop mix.
Some of the gambles were motivated because I felt bad about what I ended up doing during the growing season compared to what I had planned. Some of them I had tons of seed and figured I’d just see what happened.
The gambles weren’t just emotional plantings though - - I suspect some of them will come through, and it’ll be alright in the very unlikely event none of them do.
I mostly used my preferred planting method of broadcasting which takes awfully little effort and allows for earlier communication between plant and environment than either transplanting or soaking and sowing.
I kind of want to show and tell a little more about what I did and where things are now so I’ll probably link to a followup thread.
