The abundance and heartiness of the sweet clovers has caught my attention for some years now. A favorite with bee keepers but I've also noticed a great amount of seed from this plant. Am wondering if anyone has experienced a sprouted flour from the seed of this plant?

I grow both but don't worry about the seed since I use it for both soil cover and mulch, all my clovers come back year after year.
The bees love to visit when the clovers are in flower too.
 
It's never done THAT before. Explain it to me tiny ad:
