Here's the situation, just before the first promised rain of Labor Day weekend I sowed a mixture of seeds consisting of black oats, buckwheat, radish, crimson, arrowleaf, berseem, balansa clovers, and chicory. There was just enough rain to sprout the buckwheat and radishes and they are doing fairly well. When the next round of rains were predicted 10 or so days later the plot was sown again with the same mixture but with a little rape in place of the radishes. The rape was some older seed I had in the bottom drawer of my extra refrigerator so it may or may not do anything. There was a pittance of rain but not enough to amount to anything. Yesterday, the plot was oversown again with more black oats, wheat, and rye. Hopefully, the heavy rains currently predicted will come to fruition. I plan on overseeding again in a couple of weeks with rye and again with rye in about 4-6 weeks.
What thinkest ye about the seed that I saw laying unsprouted on the ground from the second application? Is it possibly still viable? The clover seed, being small and dark is not visible. It is rather costly and is the one I'm most concerned about.
