Stopped in at our local Agway this past Saturday to pick up some chicken feed and rabbit feed - 50lbs bags.
While I was there I also bought 5lbs of Winter Rye, which I will be planting in our vegetable gardens in the coming weeks.
I can't recall when I started this annual ritual but it's safe to say years now. Of course it helps to fertilize the soil once I till the growth in but, and I think more importantly, it helps to hold the soil in place so it doesn't wash away or blow away. Plus it displays a nice summer green throughout the long, cold New England winters. That is so long as it's not all covered in snow, UGH.
Once this has been planted, my gardening is done for the season.
