I grew red clover amidst the tomatoes
one year to give the weeds less space to grow.

So what happened? Why didn't you repeat with the red clover?

I was growing large scale - close to 200 tomato plants. I planted the
red clover too late to be really effective but it was awfully cute
coming up en masse.

Now that I'm small scale again, I still plant with red clover, but
more because I want the red clover. I use it to control hot flashes
and night sweats, in a brandy tincture.

Tell me more about how it controls hot flashes and night sweats.
Goodness if it works where can I get some?

I imagine you could buy it in a health food type store, but I harvest
the blossoms of red clover (Trifolium pratense) that grows in my yard
(I sowed the seed). Fill up a pint or quart jar with blossoms, cover
with brandy so the brandy covers the flowers by and inch or so, cover
and shake up every day for 6 weeks and viola, you have a red clover
tincture. I take about 10 drops twice a day and it works for me. I
sure know when I've skipped a couple of days.

You set me off having a hunt too. I knew that sorrel was an indictor of
acidity but not dandelions.

I found a few interesting sites:

Thanks Farml for posting your urls of value ! I'll check them out.

I do not know what is more difficult. Being a new gardener and not
know what to search for or being an experienced gardener and think you
know. Sort of scares me how in a way not knowing is proven daily.

Still the Andromeda plant broken by the snow continues to show bloom.
Pollinators love this plant.

Either your weather has undergone some dramatic changes, Bill, or the
above are very powerful amulets against the snow elves.

Double bubble toil and trouble the spirits are about to speak. Are
they friendly spirits? God knows where in my gray matter database that
came from? Not Hamlet most likely junk TV.

Ah, you must have a good relationship for your first born to put Spring
in your step. Sadly, others see their first born more as King Lear or
Macbeth. I'm glad that your's is a keeper.

LOL. I've always liked the old saying "that the more you learn, the more
you realise that you still have to learn". That applies to most, but not
all, people and especially gardners who mostly seem to know the inate truth
of that.
