collecting plants for what?

[IreneD]

Perhaps he's got a menopausal wife and needs to get plenty of red clover in? Sounds as if she might be very scary indeed with the quantity the poor guy was collecting! I take Novogen Red Clover, must look into manufacturing my own!

Apparently Roger might enjoy the Red Clover flowers PP. Worth a try as there's loads of them & they're free

IreneD, here's some instructions on how to make Red Clover tincture:

after looking at your link CrazyL,i dont think it is the same plant,In my pics the flowers are much more burgundy,in the link,the clover looks just like the british stuff..
wont be giving anything to Roger until i know for definate what it is...i will try and get a better pic.

The flower has the same type of structure and the leaves look the same shape. I can't see from your picture whether the leaves are in a clover shape. I would ask the bloke who was picking them what he uses it for. If he feeds it to his goats then it should be fine for Roger.

Roger dodge on that Crazyred, big ten four on that good bud,?

[princess peach]

i will try and find someone picking them to ask...you watch,now i wont see anyone knicking them again..

There are apparently 300 different types of clover.
+1 if you include the butter.

[princess peach]

yeah,the butter!

well,im sorry to say it looks more like a vetch type of plant,it seems to spread across the floor and across other plants,rather than grow up straight like a clover plant.

Oh well, I'll keep taking the tablets! They help keep me just the right side of sane! Thanks anyway, Crazyred.
