> gardeners.

> methods that make incorporating cover crops in the garden easy and  
> that maximize their benefits. She will focus on summer cover crops,  
> including buckwheat (the cover crop queen), sorghum-sudan grass,  
> Japanese millet, and cowpea but will also outline late summer, fall,  
> and spring options. Elizabeth Dyck of the Organic Growers Research  
> and Information-Sharing Network (OGRIN) is a long-time cover  
> cropper. Each class attendee will receive seed samples and a coupon  
> for a discount on locally grown organic buckwheat seed.
