I’ve been adding on to my garden and am now up to twenty-one 100 sq. ft. beds. Of those, I made 7 in the past couple days and am looking to plant some cover crops.

I had used an occultation tarp to kill the sod and weaken the perennial weeds in the area, and then I covered thickly with “deep” compost (about 4 in.) and walking paths about 5 in. with straw.

I’d like to seed the beds with cover crop... ideally a blend of cover crops. I live in central NY in zone 6a. I was thinking I could probably do a quick round of buckwheat then terminating and sowing winter cover crops like rye, hairy vetch, and crimson clover. Maybe I should just plant those now (is it too early?)

Any advice would be helpful!
