I started to send a couple of pictures of my Imperial
Whitetail Clover plots but you know what clover looks like! One plot I just
mowed and it doesn’t look very impressive other than the fact that it is in its
8th year of growth.
I had an edge of a CRP field, sprayed with Roundup in the
fall, disked, harrowed, broadcast seed and rolled. This is its 8th summer. Next
spring I may overseed a little Imperial Whitetail Clover to fill in the two or
three thin spots. The other plot that I’m most proud of is in its fifth year. I
mowed it for the third time about two weeks ago and it’s now about 12-15 inches
tall. Next summer will be its sixth summer and it looks better now than it did
early on because of a dry start. Also, a comment on Winter-Greens. I planted a
1-acre strip across this plot last year. It was not unusual to see 20-30 deer
in the acre strip. I was afraid they would stomp down my clover plot going to
and from the greens. Terrible problem. Photo shows the bottom line. This
seven-year old deer grew up in my eight-year-old Imperial Whitetail Clover
patch.
