Default RE: cut the clover plot today

I don't know if this is a bad thing or good thing, but my plot is a lot denser (thicker) than yours. The clover is well established, but the weeds exploded out of the ground after we had 3 straight days of rain. I also had turnips growing in my plot and I didn't even plant any??????

I was down on the farm about 3 weeks ago and the clover was only maybe 3-4" high max with very few broadleaf weeds. Today the clover was as high as 7-9" in spots and the weeds were coming up good as well. It could probably deserve another cut in about a month to cut down on the weed growth, especially if it keeps growing at that rate. I'm trying to avoid using chemicals because they are so darn expensive. I heard mowing is a great way to control weeds, so we'll see.
