i think they are so pretty...this is my first experience with them too. they are my cover crop for corn, limas and okra. it adds nitrogen into the soil. i didn't realize they would have such a lovely bloom. thanks for letting me use your quote...i put it on my side with a photo of yours and a link to your blog when you click the picture.

I am a happily married woman of 27 years. I lived in Florida for 40 years and moved to Tn in 2000. We lived in the city of Brentwood for 6 years and move to Leiper's Fork in May of 2007. We have been in the country for about six years now on a 7.24 acre farm. We call it Dash Home Farm. Da-for Dave and Sh-for Sharon. We live in a victorian farmhouse made to look old(it acts old). We love the community of Leiper's Fork and the quaintness of the town (no lights).

cheryl,
this is my cover crop for the corn, limas, and okra. it is non~edible but puts nitrogen into the soil...you're welcomed.
