Please help. As I have just redone my lawn and all the clover is coming back. Heartbreaking due to all the work. Help please!!!
If the clover is actively growing (not going to seed), a post-emergent herbicide should take them out. If they are going to seed, the herbicide won't be as effective. Keep the lawn mowed short so as not to let the seeds mature and drop. That will help a lot next season. If the clover isn't going to seed, you can let the grass grow taller, that way shading out the horizontal clover.
The article below says selective herbicides won't kill clover and you have to use non-selective such as glyphosate, but I just looked at the label for a popular herbicide to kill weeds on lawns and it lists clover. So you can try it.

I started the lawn from seed, parts are coming in really well but there are many bald patches
That looks to be damage from a burrowing animal. Moles, voles, and groundhogs are usual culprits.

I pulled out a yew hedge and replaced it with perennials. I broadcast white clover seeds to create a green mulch. I have planted flowers and herbs.
While white clover is great for lawns and general ground cover, you may find it too invasive to grow in your flower beds. You'll need to wait and see if you end up deciding that it's too much of a weed to have it there. If it gets to be too much, here's an article that will help:

I did a quick Internet search and several seed companies listed that product in stock. We don't recommend certain vendors but I would make sure it is a long-standing seed company before buying.
Individuals sell seed on auction sites and other venues but I would be wary. We hear from people who buy seeds that way and they end up with weeds if anything that grows.

I can't grow grass in my yard. It just doesn't take. I'm surrounded by Oaks and Pines. My yard gets about 80-100% sun depending on the time of day and sun travel (being surrounded by trees, the shade moves). I was told to use clover, it's pretty and after a few seasons I may be able to establish some rye grass too. Well, I planted on Sunday (May 3) because temps in CT have been staying above 42 degrees even at night. Poof, I plant on Sunday....we get a surprise cold streak and night time temps have fallen to 35F almost every night since. Soil is damp, has stayed damp. Watering and rain. I was expecting some germination to start occurring- i was told 2-3 days I should see sprouts. I do not see anything. Can the seeds survive those cold nights? Or do I need to seed again? I didn't by from a seed place, I bought Scott's (I usually don't do Corp. brands, I usually order from a seed company) because it was inexpensive and if it didn't work I wasn't out too much.
The cold snap certainly doesn't help germination speed, but you may still see them popping up as the season continues to change. I would wait a while; they haven't frozen, but have been slowed by the cold. Sometimes it's all about patience.
We purchased a house that has a sand gravel backyard. The guys went bulldozer crazy and took out the dead grape vines and winter hit the following week. Spring is here and the vines are coming back, as I restore the garden, another plant came back much faster. There is no doubt it was planted intentionally with the grape vines, but no one cam tell me what it is. I suspect the legume family, but I'm just not sure. We live in Connecticut. I attached pictures. Any assistance would be appreciated!
It looks like a clover wildflower which is good for bees. It is on the list of companion plants for grapes. When it blooms you will be able to tell which variety. The leaf shape also looks like wild indigo (baptisia) which is a great native plant to have.
