Ah, sweet! I should tell my girlfriend to add clover to her garden. Seriously. Thank you.

A cool idea Maureen. I can see how it twists that way. It's cool how things can shape themselves. Truth be told, one day I was sitting on the patio when a rabbit appeared. We never fence in the garden. He was slowly hopping toward our little plot of ripened paradise, when he spotted some average clover and abandoned the gourmet possibilities of arugala, spinach and such; and aborted his own mission lol.
