It lines much of our roads and can completely cover in guardrails and =
shoulders. I knew it first as roadweed but after taking it's picture and =
researching found out it was white sweet clover. I never would have =
thought it was a clover being so tall. I pulled it all out across from =
my house and the next year there was only a little left, I pulled it out =
(comes out easy)and it never came back so no problem to get rid of.=20

It can be a danger in limiting ones sight at intersections and turns =
etc. The Highways cuts it down with whipper snippers around guardrails =
but of course it comes back. I don't believe it's what traditionally is =
called roadweed but surely is our main (so called) weed of the roads =
now.

The yellow is quite beautiful,

All the best,

  Really, 'road weed???'=20
  Oh my!=20
  Feel so embarrassed now! However, did read of a couple of positive =
uses (but maybe in the past) for this (admittedly) invasive plant.

  Cheers!
