Forgotten seed

A good 3 year old buck
I was digging around in the shed a short while back and found a box of seed I had forgotten about from the NWTF that held an 8 lb. bag of Biologic Nontypical clover seed. It is from this past spring and I just forgot about it this fall when I had put my other two little plots in so it's not old seed but just a bag I put away and forgot about. I'm not in Mississippi right now where the seed is and won't be back until about the first week of Dec. Planning on just doing it in the T-n-M style in a a couple of small spots and a short run of one of the two tracks around the place. Just wondering if ya'll think that might be too late in the year or not. I'll probably go ahead and do it anyways even if it is too late, but just wondering what ya'll's opinions might be.

Thanks,

I would bet it would be fine. May loose a tad of germination but that’s it.
 
Years ago they found wheat seed in the Egyptian pyramids. The seed germinated and grew even though it was thousands of years old. As long as the seed was kept dry I'd imagine you'd be in good shape.
 
Thanks Bill and Charles. When I get back down south I'll get it done. Like I said though, was more wondering whether or not Dec. was too late in the year to seed it or not.

You can frost seed clover most anytime over the winter. I like to do in Feb or early March personally.
 
I've found the germination percentage of seed in a box or bag is very close to zero!

Took a second for that to sink in but yep, you are correct there FarmerDan. It sure ain't gonna' sprout and grow sitting in the sack at home is it??

I've never frost seeded anything but there in central Mississippi, zone 8, we don't really get that many hard frosts where the ground freezes anyway. I'm gonna go ahead and t-n-m a couple of spots and if it takes it takes and if it don't it don't.
