Question
Can I still plant Sweet Clove, from seed? (or do I need to wait in till spring.
I live in southeast Mich.

Answer
Yes you can plant them from seed. However, it is too late in the season to plant now. I would wait until approximately May 15th, which is the last expected frost date in your area, and then spread the seed over the bed. Be sure to work in some organic matter such as peat or compost before seeding. The seeds should germinate within a couple of weeks.

Good luck, and please write again if I can ever provide assistance.

Regards,

Mike
