Hey Antoniette
I sowed in fall at the end of the season. I removed all plant material, raked out the beds, turned the soil and worked it, then I sowed the cover crop (rye grass and some legumes). In Spring I cut it down and turned it under before planting (I think 30 days).
I think it worked pretty well I didn't really have a problem with blight until recently and after we had 5 days of rain straight. It still wasn't as bad as last year. Also, the soil was incredibly rich after the grass clippings decomposed.
