The Vetch sprouted nicely and is actually taller than the grass now. The weather has been remarkably warm lately for late September. The warm weather is very good for encouraging growth of the Vetch. Thats a very good thing because I learned from more internet research that Hairy Vetch should be planted at the end of August to ensure that it has enough time to grow a good enough root system to survive the winter. My Vetch was planted on September 12th, so I guess its time to cross fingers again. This pic is approximately 7 days after it sprouted.
That looks like nice dirt! Maybe you could send me about 1/2 ton? Maybe wait till the frost kills your cover crop prematurely (I don't want weeds in my dirt!)
