Buckmine - I' m back form Vacation as well, and eager to plant the fall clover plots (ladino/alsike for mee this year).

The weed growth your seeing probably has as much to do with wet as cold - the weeds handle it alot better than most crops. Assuming the soil' s right, the alfalfa should dominate next spring anyhow - just keep it mowed.

Good luck - What' s your fall plot? - Are you using a nurse crop?
