I have 2 plots at the farm that I have changed my mind on what to plant them in next year. I am going to plant brassica now. Unfortunately I didn't know this in the fall so I did not overseed them with winter rye. That means I need to plant either winter rye or oats in them this spring. I tried spring planted winter rye last year and wasn't real impressed with it. Took a while to get going then never got more than 12-18" tall by the time it was brassica planting time. The spring planted oats that I did grew excellent and got 4' plus tall. The only reason I am on the fence with this is that I don't think oats have the allelopathic affects that rye does for weed suppression. Given the choice for a spring planting what would you do, winter rye or oats?
