Cover crop of Kale. Carrot bed in back.

This was planted in September? It was mixed with buckwheat which froze to death, which could be a convenience if I just wanted to briefly suppress early autumn-germinating weeds from getting established.

Anyhow, carrots in the background also acted like a cover crop-- noticeably suppressing weeds, and protecting the soil.

An idea for this year, I think oats, garlic and annual rygrass might be worth a try, mixed in a way that would allow them to all be useful.
