What does VETCH mean in Scrabble?
noun
A climbing or trailing plant of the pea family, often grown as fodder for animals or ploughed into soil to improve it.
Vetch produces small clusters of purple, blue or white flowers and thin tendrils that let it climb over other plants or fences, and farmers value it for two very different reasons. As fodder, vetch provides a protein-rich feed for cattle and sheep, while as a cover crop it fixes nitrogen in the soil, making the ground more fertile for whatever is planted afterwards. Wild vetch also grows along hedgerows and roadsides across much of Europe and Asia, where it is a familiar sight to anyone who walks through farmland in summer. Several related species share the name vetch, so the exact appearance can vary from one type to another.
