This was my first year with a cover crop and, in spite of cutting it down twice, it's still growing so vigorously that the Snow Peas are smothered.  It's a mix of Vetch, Wheat, and Oats - maybe something else would be more cooperative.  I'm sure the transplants will fare better, but I don't think I'll do that again.

 

When did you plant this cover crop?  And what zone do you garden in?
