Emergence of the Lentils

They're HEEEEEERE!


The lentil sprouts are poking up through the soil and standing proud. I am curious to see how they interact with the fava beans that were already germinating in the same strip of soil. I imagine they will create a two-tiered mass of foliage with the fava beans towering above the bushier lentils.

Using Lentils as Cover Crop and/or Green Manure

I've been looking for detailed information on using lentils (lens culinaris) as a warm season cover crop since I had some extra sprouted seed from an experiment I did with my biology classes last week. It is apparently tolerant of cool weather as well. This will be my first experience with growing the species. I'll try to post pictures if the plants take.
