Lesser Hop clover (Trifolium procumbens)
I don’t use this little clover but I admire and respect its ability as a member of the pea/bean family to fix nitrogen in the soil, thus improving soil fertility for all the other plants.

Wild Rose (Rosa multiflora)
It may not be the correct attitude, but I love the wild roses. They are considered a horribly invasive plant in my area, and it is true that they fight back with vicious thorns and rapidly take over if allowed to grow. One by the apprentice house is over fifteen feet high and ten feet across! The goats adore them too, so they don’t have a chance to take over. Earlier in the year we made a remedy from the leaf buds; the same hormones are present in the flower buds too. (In case your wild roses are not yet in bloom.)

Choke cherry (Prunus virginiana)
This rose family plant is one of the big herbal medicines. Compounds in the bark sedate the nerves that control coughing, making it an ideal remedy for chronic or unproductive coughs. The bees love the flowers and the birds love the berries so I protect these small trees and enjoy the wildlife they support.
