Rye cover crop is growing but the deer keep it mowed short. The dwarf Essex rape that was planted with the rye winter killed just like is should have. This plot was sweet corn last year. I mowed down the stalks and tilled them in along with a truck load of grass clippings. It got a Ford Ranger load of composted cow manure and 2 truck loads of field pumpkins bought for a dime each added for organic matter. It is closest to the creek and gets more sand when the creek floods. Floods have become rare since a large dam was built upstream around 15 years ago.
