I know it won't help for this year, but my brother had some old clover seed last year and he just spread it over the snow to get rid of it and see what would happen. By the time it settled down with the melting snow and spring rains, it got a good grip and turned out to be the best crop he ever had.

I've heard of seeding seeds on top of the snow. Some around here do grass that way in the spring. It won't sprout till warm temps hit so I don't know the reason for the early sowing? They say it helps drive the seeds into the ground? I would think you would loose a fair percentage of your seed to rot if you had a rainy early spring.

Default ffod plot in woods

1. Cattailis- the roots (or pollen) can be reduced to a flour that's used for muffins, biscuits, or pancakes. The young shoots can be used in salad, sautéed with meat, boiled like green beans, or cooked like asparagus.

2. Dandelions-Of French origin, this word means "lion's tooth". They're high in vitamins A, B, and C, contains calcium, potassium, iron, phosphorus, and magnesium. The flowers are rich with vitamin D. The roots are said to be good for your liver and blood.
