Default RE: mowing clover?

This plot was Whitetail Institue Imperial Clover with a mix of some Chickory. I planted it and the next day it rained 3 straight days and got close to 3 inches of water. Those things were nder water for 1 1/2 days...and then boom, they started creeping up. You cant drown clover!

They have grown about 5 inches since I cut them when they were very small, never cut xthe clover....only the weeds. I have since cut it at 5 inches twice and have finally choked the weeds.

Its finally at the point where the coloring has a slight purplish tint if you look at it right. This mix has like 4 different clover in it, and I sewed a little bit of alfalfa on it after the rain.

My other plot is 100% alfala, but its taken over any weeds that started.

Imperial Clover is slow going....especially in dry months. The heat and lack of water will keep it from a noticeable growth.

I will post my newest picks when Im done hanging all my stands and have time.

Here is the field that borders the clover plot. Talking about PRIMO bedding!



Another view of the tree line if you turned 180 degrees and looked back towards the Alfalfa plot
