(Richard Vobes) We may all need to do this.

Just to toss in my thoughts..... I found that a lot of the weeds that grew in my garden are actually MORE nutritious than the foods I was trying to grow! So.... I have changed my diet somewhat to include them too. They grow better, bigger and are healthier for me. I do still like some things though, like tomatoes and cucumbers, that don't grow wild in USA where I live, so, I do grow them. Some of these wild weeds also get a fair market price! There are also some fruits that grow wild, like plum, and mulberry that I have in my yard, that are fantastic! There are others, and I encourage rather than fighting the current, just flowing with it a little for a more enjoyable ride! Every area has some native things that do better than other places, so I strongly encourage paying attention to that too. There is a lot of evidence that the nomadic people also planted like this, as they moved around, they planted nut trees and other foods and simply let nature take care of the growing process while they came back to harvest year after year, and maybe clean up a few things. Love to us all!
