I agree. We time our plantings so that there's food provided from late spring on through mid February. We will often plant two rotations, or split the plot up into two plantings to accomplish this. We planted rye/clover in the spring last year while discing and liming the other half. About August, we planted turnips/clover in the second half of the plot. Provided both a good summer nutritional base, and then a fall/winter suppliment. We actually had our plot hit the hardest from December to February.
