Went up to my land Saturday to Spray a plot with glyphosate. When I got there it was too windy and starting to rain so I canceled the spraying. Got to looking at the plot and noticed a very health clover crop growing amounst the weeds and volunteer brassica. I had sprayed this plot in early July last year before planting with brassica The only thing that I can figure is that 3 years ago I tried to revive this plot which was an old clover field with frost seeding and it didn't work real well as there was to much grass in it and the clover seed sat dormant until now. Any one have any thoughts on this?

Sounds possible to me.
Looks like a good start on a clover plot.

I don't know, but it looks like you got some Cauliflower or something popping up there too.

It is not a pretty sight when the deer eat the rotten turnips in the spring. They tend to get the squirts.

My Late Great Uncle Jack used to leave a few rows of cabbage at the edges. Nobody wanted to gut those deer when we got one. You'd cut them open and it smelled like a sewage waste plant!
