Bradley,
Congratulations on having a successful sunflower and pea plot! I bet the deer (and bears) are attracted to the sunflower seeds!
I suspect the seed you just planted will germinate. Unless it’s a very mild fall I doubt they produce as much forage as normal. The daylength is getting short and temperatures are likely fairly cool for rapid forage growth in your area.
Sorry – I’m not a master at Facebook. I hope this reaches you!
Enjoy creation,
