yeah, its a swamp for sure, even the high rocky areas are slushy and it is supposed to rain again for 2 days. dont know when i will be able to get my peas in.

i am planning to do a white clover cover crop between rows this year as well. i usually just let ground ivy and a little grass grow in between.

I always get a lot of rain here. ( 10-15 miles south is always dry, grrrr.) anyway i cant mulch too heavily and definitely cant use newspaper or cardboard. it just rains too much and with heavy mulch or cardboard under mulch, the soil will never dry out and the plants will die. so consider that if your area gets lots of rain.

best of luck
