Good for summer cover... grows tall!
I'm not sure about "field pea" either. DO you mean cow pea / summer pea?
Really doubt winter planting is appropriate. Fava beans / broad beans are the correct autumn plant...
Suggest turnip / collards / kale...
Wheat should be fine... I often plant annual poppies as cover...

Looking forward to pictures...


Oh, the sun hemp was in the summer. I already finished that bed. I chopped and dropped that around September I believe.

The tillage reddish just recently was chopped and dropped.

the southern peas were harvested, and then chopped and dropped about 2 weeks ago.
