About a month and a half ago I planted 5 lbs of Sainfoin as an experiment here in central PA. From what I read, it was supposed to germinate in 7 - 14 days. When nothing happened, I chalked the experiment up to failure as I hadn't used an innocullent as was suggested, thinking that since other legumes were planted in this ground, it would be ok. After the two weeks, discouraged, I decided to plant something a little more common here. I planted another 5 lbs. of Sweet Yellow Clover. What I thought was sweet yellow clover coming up started to bloom today, it is SAINFOIN!!! The area is choked with it. This may get interesting. I hope the bees are happy.
