So my spring grown Crimson Clover and Harry Vetch was dead and dried up and long done so I pulled both out today and replanted new Crimson Clover and Hairy Vetch in the same spots. I know these are supposed to be cover crops to till into the soil but I plant them mainly to attract bees and as food for the bees. And I plant them because I think the flowers are so pretty.

The die off is not surprising, they grow quickly, flower and then die off. Annuals. But I just replant. Big Grin Thumbs up
