Bobʼs neighbor Wayne had a simple question. Why do you have clover in your yard? Bob and Bill decided to do a podcast to explain to Wayne why we both keep and even plant clover in our yards. Bob’s back yard was pure clay due to a construction project before planting clover.

Nice job
Thanks! Nice job with the clover in your yard.
We stopped using chemicals 3 years ago after my beloved Westie was diagnosed with lymphoma and passed about 6 months later. I blame the chemicals, and am happy to say that we have a big patch of clover that showed up all by itself, as well as dandelions and chickweed, and probably some other things I don’t recognize. You really educated me with this podcast. I’m glad to know so much more about such a simple plant as clover.
So sorry to hear about your Westie. Glad the clover and other things are showing up in your yard! The clover is coming back.
