That would be me, Latosha. I'm putting in an outdoor kitchen and spread
rye because the backyard was becoming a sea of mud and a relatively
cheap option.

I've been growing winter rye, too, Latosha and Mike, but I'm willing to
consider something else. I've recently read out about Austrian winter peas.
They look like an interesting winter cover crop for this area, but I know
nothing about them. Anyone here have any experience with them?
