rye n vetch

I am learning about cover cropping. This year will be my first experiment in planting rye and vetch as a over wintering green manure. I am just fascinated with it. The rye is so vibrantly red when it first pokes out of the earth, and the vetch looks like little green hands reaching up out of the soil. It is true excitement and beauty to watch things grow.
