clover lawn

I still need more practice with a clover lawn.

I've got some sections of walkway that are thick enough with clover to block any unintentional plants growing there. That's good. But that clover is also growing too tall to make a useful walkway. That's bad. I need to figure out what height to mow, so the clover rebounds quickly, quick enough to suppress other seeds from sprouting.

I just mowed some of my walkway in the back yard, the parts that were overgrown by things not clover. I threw down some more clover seed. Hopefully I mowed short enough to kill everything else. We have rain coming here in a few hours, which should help those clover seeds sprout.

I just need more practice at all of this, despite living here for over 8 years already. I lasted about half an hour in today's temperature and humidity, which wasn't bad as Minneapolis weather goes, just more than I'm accustomed to.
