Alfalfa is a fun word.

     The Alfalfa is still growing. It's what it does best.

     This is old seeding. Remember how alfalfa is a perennial? The individual plants grow better in later years, though there will be fewer of them. Alfalfa that was planted this spring will be called new seeding and the alfalfa planted in previous years will be called old seeding. The only difference is the size of the plant itself.

     See the little deals at the base of the leaves? Those are what will eventually bloom into flowers. Both old and new seeding have them. If you're a regular reader you'll have figured out that the leafcutter bees will soon have something to work with. One thing at a time, though.
