Too late for BBs?

woodburner · « **on:** June 24, 2008, 10:01 »

My first lot of BBs got scoffed by the pigeons before they got anywhere. I've got some fleece now but the packet says March and April for succession.
The variety I have is Express. I figure I'm way too late but thought I'd check with all you knowledgeable people here.

If you've got the space, I'd risk it. They should germinate quickly at this time of year.

Nothing ventured and all that.

they grow real fast this time of year. I don't remember when was the latest that I sowed them in the past, but was def June.
