Hi, George. I have done the red clover/winter rye in the past, and this last week or so I just sowed field peas/oats, which comes up really fast and gets thick fast…so I am encouraged by that combo, too.

Planted buckwheat in the resting part and cut it down and spread it out. Thinking of planting winter cover crop until I use it in the spring, and possibly the same crop in the just used half that I planted. What would you suggest for a cover crop for winter?
Upstate new York.

Thanks, Anne. Radishes are good cover crops, you’re right. Thanks for adding to the conversation!
