I’m sure glad I planted a cover crop last fall because our rain has returned and is hell bent on making up the 9” deficit we have built up when it should have been here. Cover crops are a must in the rainy Pacific North West. Our local paper had a article from the AP on composting yesterday and I’ll post if I find it.

I went over to our Church and changed the oil in the little pavement sweeper yesterday but I had to make some changes to drain the old oil so it doesn’t run all over the motor mount and floor.

I think of you every time I read about cover crops. I'm going to no-till some of my garden this year, but the other section needs some amendments, so I will be disking part.

Left to nature, my garden grows its own cover crop of henbit, and it never fails to leave me with a beautiful, mellow structure that accepts and nutures new plants like nothing else can.

When I no-till, the only thing I have to keep an eye on is cutworms, which I expect will be fericious since we've had no winter.
