How late for linseed

[Mr Charisma]

I think I need to try another variety, last couple of years my linseed has lost its get up and go, used to grow Juliet and had good yields but late harvests, changed to Batsman, easier harvests but yields have gone

Almost a bit leggy as it's nearly knee high already.

What seed rate ? Looks great [emoji106]

 

[stroller]

In flower, not quite as high as a lab.

Mine is a bit taller than I would like, c. 80cm and rather dense due to the high seed rate that I used. The Jubilee SX that I put on a couple of weeks ago has fried up the poppies with no apparent detriment to the crop.

Woah 80cms a bit tall!

Yes it’s looking a bit wobbly.

I'm not known for my calmness, but I'd be biting my nails at 2.5ft linseeds.

I was quite generous with the fym I applied pre-drilling. I’m starting to regret it.

Excellent. My poppies came back from the jubilee sx in my winter linseed and have caused a real issue. Sprayed off last Friday as fed up of looking at it.

What was your seed rate?

What was your seed rate?

I’m not at home to check but from memory it was c. 80 kg/ha.

 

[Manny]

A few more purple / blue flowers.

I'd not say that was excessive. Is it on land that was heavily mucked, or very fertile soil?

Heavy dose of muck.
