 A year ago for a winter cover crop at the farm I planted a mix of tillage radish (a variety of Daikon) and oats. I expected freezing temperatures as in previous years to freeze kill both allowing them to decompose during the winter, leaving a garden ready for remineralization and cultivation in the spring. For more information see [[garden:cultivate:tasks:grnmanure:oat-radish|oat and radish cover crop]].
-At the garden I had a good stand of crimson clover over the area planned for 2016 crops. To get transplants started in time I remineralized and cultivated only one-third of the future garden.

 ===== Not enough time and energy =====

 The combination of lost plants from the mice and delays getting plants hardened off left me with some unexpected choices. I didn't have enough time/energy to scythe all of the crimson clover at the garden and to cultivate minerals into the soil. So a third of the garden had crimson clover going to seed. (OK, I thought, I'll save myself planting a winter cover crop in that section. I won't try that again, because I didn't get a consistent winter cover crop from the self-seeded clover.)
 ===== It was a good year! =====
