Golden Curls' Lucky Charms

We have been very busy at Golden Curls Ranch but are learning to take time to smell the roses - or as sweet Salsa and Sarita prefer; clover. This year we have had lots of rain and that has helped the clover grow in leaps and bounds. Being an Irish girl, I always notice the beautiful green Shamrocks and tiny flowers it produces. Clover is from the pea family and is considered by some to be the best "lawn carpet" around. Clover attracts honeybees and literally snatches nitrogen out of the air around us. It is one of the few plants that can aerate the soil so compacted that even clay is not a problem. It grows deep roots which to me is a wonderful quality in both plants and humans.

Best wishes from Angie and her Lucky Charms (Salsa and Sarita)
