I will either thank myself or kick myself

As a way of building my soil, I added compost, but since I didn’t have enough and ran out of energy after shovelling by 4 yards, I opted to rake it into permanent beds with it the main garden.

Since I also purchased raised beds and soil - ran out of budget to be able to get a worthy amount of compost. Instead, I purchased some cover crop. $20 in seeds goes further. It’s a little patchy but it’s growing. I have oats and crimson clover. The oats I will crimp in July and it will die off before flowering and I will leave it and let it compost. The crimson clover is *supposed* to winter kill. I am currently doubting myself, haha did I just create a weed situation for myself?

I guess we’ll know next year. I am also going to throw down winter peas in late October for an early spring cover crop - I think.
