One of the things I do each spring is plant both Hairy Vetch and Crimson clover seeds. These are both annuals and commonly grown as cover crops. Really I grow mine because I like the flowers and the flowers draw bees and other pollinators.

We are having a warm spell so I planted both the hairy vetch and crimson clover today.
