Clover in NJ

I am in NJ and this time of year there is clover in most suburban lawns. It forms a very small yellow flower that turns white as it matures and attracts bumble bees. I am curious if anyone has an idea about what kind of clover this is and if it will be a problem to have this clover seed all throughout my veg garden, as I have used grass clippings as mulch which undoubtedly have clover seed in them. I'm assuming i can use it like a living mulch next spring and plant my cold crops in amongst it?

Hi Adam. I use to live in South Jersey. The only clover that I saw commonly in lawns was Dutch white clover. Yes, it attracts bees. Sadly I stepped on plenty and got stung when I use to run around barefooted during the summer.

I used a lot of lawn clippings for my garden mulch, much of it coming from lawns that contained clover. It never caused a problem with clover in the garden. Very little of the seed resulted in seedlings.
