Johnnys Selected Seeds Oats (Common)

Oats (Common) is a Standard choice with multiple uses. Early maturing and good standing with very high yields. A good choice for underseeding with a legume. Oats are a quick-growing green manure. For winter cover, sow by early Sept. in the North, slightly later farther south; the heavy stubble will prevent erosion and oats will not regrow in the spring like winter rye.
