Might consider posting a thread in the land and wildlife section of the forums, might get a little better response than the blogs.

Have heard brassicas do real well in the north, around here they don't seem to be much of a draw though. Would also consider wheat or rye grain. If you were wanting to plant a perennial, would go with a clover mix.

Thanks for the help i am newbee with this. I just hate to go tru all that work and money and have norhing to show for it. I was looking to plant. The hot spot.
