So... on the heels of 100 days of dry weather we had a couple of days of rain a week ago, and with Tropical Storm Nestor following and on a direct path towards my place I tilled my plots between the rains ... but only had time to get about 1 of 4 acres I typically plant seeded.
The good news is I got my favorite / primary hunting plot MOSTLY seeded. I'll let the other areas dry out a bit more and seed when ready.
Which leads me to my question. In my absolute favorite plot I got a mix of rye, triticale, and winter peas down and smoothed over with a homemade chain link drag I use. Unfortunately, dark caught me before I could put down clover on the smoothed plot.
Though the supposed "center" of T.S. Nestor went right over us we didn't get flooding rains (central Florida got much heavier rains than us), but with it cloudy today I'm guessing the plot is now fairly damp and I'd love to get the clover seed down before the plot starts sprouting too much and also in the interest of time as our gun season opens early in Nov so I'd like to get done working in it to let things settle down. So given the damp soil scenario, should I just cast the clover and a) still trying pulling the drag over it?, b) not pull the drag over it, but maybe just drive over the seed with UTV tires?, c) not even bother trying to cast the clover seed, or d) ??? some other alternative I haven't listed?
Any / all advice be much appreciated.
