Thought about eating cover crops
Which yielded
http://www.google.com/search?client=...ble+cover+crop &ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 Which yielded http://harvestsgardeningsecrets.blog...er-cover-crops. html Which yielded Agricultural mustard, fodder radish, and tyfon can all be eaten in soups or sautéed with garlic and onions for an old fashioned dish known simply as ³a mess of greens.² They are good sources of beta-carotene, folic acid, and calcium. (You can improve your own health while you improve the health of your soil!) Once these cover crops go to seed, if you let them grow that long, the seed can be threshed and used to grow spicy sprouts that will enliven your spring and summer salads. These same seeds can be used to flavor pickles, cracked to make a spicy seasoning for savory breads, and ground and mixed with vinegar to make dark flavorful mustards. New to me maybe to you.
