fall green manures and friends

many alfalfa plants are sporting third leaves which is good news as the weather cools toward winter ( top photo )...there is some winter vetch ( second photo ) up as well in a couple of beds which means nitrogen will be produced in early spring...the one yellow pea plant that i have found is taking its sweet time about moving along...but ti is there, hopefully to be followed by more...farther along, there are still bean blossoms emerging so there is at least a possibility of more beans while the cooler weather has had no impact on wither the new zealand whit clover or the asparagus growing along with it...the season hangs on.
