I planted some field beans as a green manure ten days ago and they are about two inches tall now...so I planted some more today. I have some Hungarian Rye Grass to put into another bed.

This is my first time with green manures so it will be interesting to see how they perform

Thanks for the information about the Tares being slow germinators...I had better get mine in.

I though Phaecelia was a spring manure not an overwintering one? If I am wrong I will get some to try now

Oh I forgot....I planted some Japanese onions today...tried for the first time last year...was very impressed with the results
I am in my own little world, ...it's OK, ...they know me there!

If you can find some seed packets, a sowing now of Swiss chard (similar to spinach) is not too late. Keep it well watered to germinate, and if you can give it the protection of some cloches over the winter, even if you don't get big chunky leaves, you will have some nice little ones which you can use for salads.
