The persistent cooler, wet spring across most of Michigan
has delayed intended plantings and raises questions about whether it is “too
late” for spring seedings.
It might seem logical to ignore the calendar, and
assume all the ground moisture is going to guarantee germination. That may be a safe assumption prior to
June 1st—but as the soil warms, it will be less safe. Seeds seem to germinate “in their season”
which is why we name them “cold” or “warm” season forages, whether annuals or
perennials.
