It was a beautiful day yesterday with all the buds on the trees and green up everywhere. I was even giving thought to mowing our lawns for the first time this spring. The farmer who rents my land spread fertilizer on all the fields he rents yesterday afternoon.
This morning I woke up to 2" of fresh snow on the ground and the sound of a Town plow going by plowing and sanding the road. Now late morning we have about 4" of fresh snow and it's still coming down hard.
I have some bare or sparse spots in a clover / chicory plot we planted last season only to have near drought conditions for a while afterward. I'll be headed out shortly with some bulk White Ladino clover and spread seeds over the spots as I can remember them in hopes the sed will be sucked into the soil as the snow melts away. The temperatures are supposed to be in the high 50's to low 60's this coming weekend. I may waste some seed but I'm sure most will take and the plot should fill in where the troubled spots are.
My biggest challenge will be getting up the hill with a curve at the top on my ROW.
