Hi,

Do you know when it should have it's first cut please?
Thank you, 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 |

i would let it flower so the bees would be happy and then mow it when the flowers die off |

I would leave it as it is just now, like forest flame has said. |

I agree. Don't forget that clover is a nitrogen fixer. Remove all the clippings, and definitely don't feed. |
