Wheat, oats, and rye, with Austrian Winter peas and tillage radish.
Nice that they seem to be standing just from the support of the grass. If this works, I will dispense with tomato cages

It might be ok on an indeterminate variety but I think it'll outgrow the cover crop which is now dead and losing its stalk strength. After I took the picture, I installed the cages. The cover keeps the wind and driving rain off the transplants. It's job is done?
@farmboy2017 gotcha. I'll put on my list of "things I would like to try, but will die first" list "see what compainion crops make good tomato cages
@CraeftSmith I'm trying Cock's Comb this year. Will keep you posted.
