Sorry about he snow. Yes, it's global warming causing the snow.
 
I love the soil prep, I do the same with the rye.  After harvest I add the compost, shredded mulch and plant rye. When it hits 7-9"s I till and plant it again. It pulls the nutes back up and keeps them from leeching down. And it keeps the soil moist so the amendments readily break down. It's just a win, win solution.
 
Can't wait to see how things go when your area warms.
 
Good luck!
 
Few quick pics from this morning.

Super healthy looking.  I fear a large portion of mine are starving to death now.  I think the nutes are pretty depleted, hoping when planting out they will bounce back.  Looking forward to seeing how all those gum varieties turn out.  I have quite a few also, suspecting we will see a lot of variation in them, but should be fun.

If you need some pollen lmk.  There is some purple genes flying around in some of the CBBG7's.   My hot rod serrano x CBBG7 has two plants that are putting out purple pods.  And I'm growing a red/purple spotted BBG7 pheno that had purple plants that grew from a CBBG7. 
 
Potting up my container plants right now, not sure how many but however many pots this pile will fill..lol

Thanks Rick. I was thinking about using soaker hoses but never got around to it, maybe next season. Cheers
 
Few quick pics from this morning. I ended up with 20 plants in 10g pots and a couple in 8's, my insurance policy. Everything else is either in the ground or waiting to go in ground. I think total # of plants is 128.
