Crimson clover is being used as a green fertilizer for an organic garden. When is the best time to plant?

I like to turn my soil over right before it starts frosting and again after the first full thaw. -
These don't answer my question because I need to know the best date to plant, then the best date to till the clover into the soil. -
Don't know about tilling, but the USDA recommends planting between Sept. 15 and Nov. 1 (ie, now) in your area. -
Steve is correct....and you can till it in early April, two weeks before you start planting your summer garden. -
I have been wondering the same thing! Thanks! -
I sow clover in mid- October after I clean up the garden for the winter. The clover comes up fairly quickly. I can till it in the bed in March so the garden will be ready for planting late March or early April.
