Winter Rye Seeding… This Late?
It has been unusually warm for this time of year and I took advantage by bringing in some compost for the patch. My soil tests indicated that I was finally breaking down my base amount of organic matter after about 7 years of adding nothing. I just did a coating of about 2 yards per 1,000sq.ft. which should be plenty. It was great to be able to use the official Team-Pumpkin dump truck to haul the material. Special thanks to the owner of the truck for the day rental;-) After I spread the compost I did put down some winter rye seed even though today is December 13th! I know it is late and it may not even germinate, but with predicted stretch of warm (and even potential for record) temperatures I did not want to be wishing that I had added it when it was too late.
