Re: Cover Crop

You should remove the seeds, or they will be popping up
all over the place next year.

I'm preparing to hopefully graduate from newbie school soon. I've read
that some people plant their cover crop in September. I obviously don't
want to do anything to my patch until I can get my pumpkins weighed.
Once I cut the pumpkins off the vine, is that the time to immediately
till it under and apply soil prep and cover crop for next year. I have a
pumpkin that I found had rotted out today. No big deal, was going to
cull it anyways. Should I let decompose in the patch and then till it in
when I till everything else under, or should I remove it?
