since it's feedback Friday, Feedback: I'm taking this moment to acknowledge, Jesse, what a very good teacher you are. Because I've read your book and watched/listened to you for as many years as it's been possible, I have an idea that I'm aware of how MUCH you know. So the impressive thing about your teaching, in addition to all the info, is how skillfully you're able to sublimate your large amount of experience and knowledge to the greater good of teaching/interacting (and presumably, soccer-coaching)---and creating a space for others to do the same. The TONE of your overall endeavor makes it so inclusive and educational---and, equally, fun, cozy, and community-building and friend-making. Thank you so much for creating such a rare and valuable space amid the noise and hubris.
My fiance and I are starting our farm focusing on veggies and medicinal herbs. We're using pea oats mix as a cover crop to winter kill, but we've been considering experimenting with spring oat and red clover mix with the plan to harvest milky Oats and some clover blossoms before terminating. Maybe harvesting the milky Oats removes too much nutrition, but we're going to try it out!
Enjoy your break and holiday festivities. When it comes to cover crops- I am a lot more successful in growing cover crop radishes than I am growing regular radishes. I put more work into the regular ones but I don’t do near as well with the cover crop ones and all I do there is drop some seed and leave it be.
Very helpful info on (limited) harvesting from cover crops. Really helps illustrate of their primary purpose from a different angle. Enjoy your holiday!
Good show, Jesse! On ur advice I planted a winter kill cover crop of oats and field peas at the end of September. I think it did well. We've had a few weeks with abnormally low overnight temps in low 20s. It's looks pretty near killed now. Next year I'll plant it earlier I think. I'm still harvesting greens from my homemade low tunnel.
19:09 Hey! It’s me, MC-Donald #4! Lou Pearlman really made our lives hell during the filming of that movie, but our resulting single Brassica Boy (Don’t Need No Myco) really skyrocketed Bruce’s career.
Not something I've done yet but am considering growing cover crops for seed production (mostly just in house but extra could be sold), while also just covering the area they grow. Like you said there will be some nutrient and biomass loss in letting them go to seed and harvesting that. Still would get all the great benefits of having a diverse mix of living plants in the soil all season.
No Ladybugs?! (or spiders, earwigs, "pill" bugs, etc.) Alarm bells start sounding! If it's too poisonous for THEM, you SURE don't wanna EAT it! And we KNOW you've got aphids (so don't pretend) so Ladybug beetles are certainly welcome. But it DOES take a special kind of customer/end user to accept those with equanimity......(although the good salesman will just extoll the virtues of his "clean" produce....while quietly, surreptitiously removing the offending creature(s)....
Enjoy your break, Jesse. We're all so grateful for the info and knowledge you share and help to bring to us.

Thanks Jesse, for all the great content! Your responses to patreon questions are always so thoughtful.
Happy holidays Farmer Jefe
Merry Christmas Jesse! Enjoy your break with your family, you have certainly earned it! ❤ 🙏

My friends would have me committed if I made up stories like yours. They don't appreciate imagination!
