ENID, OK - Spring in Oklahoma is one of the most exciting times of year for landowners, hunters, gardeners, and anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors. Warmer temperatures, longer days, and fresh growth signal the start of a busy season for both wildlife and property owners. At Johnston Seed Company, spring is one of our favorite seasons because it brings together several important priorities: preparing lawns and gardens, supporting wildlife health, and getting ready for the upcoming spring turkey season.
Supporting Deer as They Transition into Spring
As winter fades and green forage begins to return, deer are recovering from months of physical stress. Bucks are rebuilding body condition after the rut, and does are entering a critical period leading into fawning season. This is an ideal time to continue supplemental feeding programs. Products like Double Down Pen & Pasture deer feed help provide balanced nutrition and digestive support while natural forage continues to improve. Another key component of spring wildlife management is mineral supplementation. Deer begin replenishing nutrients lost during winter, and minerals play an important role in:
• Antler development
• Bone growth
• Reproductive health
• Overall herd vitality
Providing mineral sites near feeding areas or travel corridors can help support herd health throughout the spring and summer months.
Spring Turkey Season Is Just Around the Corner
Spring also brings one of Oklahoma’s most anticipated outdoor traditions — turkey season. As toms begin strutting and gobbling across fields and pastures, many hunters are already scouting and preparing.
Healthy habitat plays a major role in sustaining strong turkey populations. Maintaining productive food plots, pasture areas, and wildlife feeding sites helps create the environment turkeys need to thrive.
Lawn & Garden Season Starts Now
While wildlife is waking up for the season, it’s also the perfect time to begin preparing your lawn and garden. Early spring is ideal for:
• Soil preparation and amendments
• Planting garden seeds
• Fertilizing lawns
• Seeding pasture or forage areas
Our team can help you select the right seed varieties, fertilizers, and soil solutions to help your property thrive throughout the growing season. Whether you're preparing your backyard garden, supporting wildlife on your property, or getting ready for turkey season, Johnston Seed Company has the products and expertise to help.
