A Cover Crop

We decided not to do a winter garden and instead to use a cover crop.  We bought some Mammoth Red Clover from Territorial Seed Co. and planted it in the area all the plants used to be.  I decided to get Red Clover because I read that the blossoms can be used in tons of different ways.  Syrups and cough drops for sore throat, tincture for headaches, but most importantly, and probably the first thing I would use them for is a skin lotion or ointment for Mindy to use for her Psoriasis. 

I've decided to study a different herb each weekend, starting with the one's we've actually got out on the table.
