Happy Saint Patrick's Day by Vicky Spelman

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
Tis a grand day to be Irish!
My wish for all of you!
May green be the grass you walk on!
May blue be the skies above you!
Pure be the joy that surrounds you!
True be the hearts that love you!

☘🍀☘🍀☘
May all your gardens be healthy
May all your gardens have wonderful veggies!

In Ireland, shamrocks are considered lucky and are worn and given as gifts on St. Patrick's Day. However, there is some disagreement as to the exact plant, but most growers will tell you that Trifolium repens, White Clover, is the plant most commonly known as a shamrock. What we consider to be a common lawn weed, is a native of Ireland. In Colorado, this Irish shamrock grows in our lawns, in prairies, pastures and foothills. If you enjoy clover honey, you can thank this lovely little plant.
