Now is a good time to mulch crops if you can.Weed growth hasn't started in earnest and the ground is niceand moist. The mulch will keep in the moisture and stop most of the weeds from growing through making it a win win thing to apply.The pictures show one bed of young gooseberries mulched with grass clippings and the other a bed of Blueberries mulched with partly composted shreddings. Straw is another good mulch, used extensively by the late and much missed Sarah Jones. Whatever you use, pile it on thick, 4 or more inches at least for it to be effective.
