I have a small garden. Every year I plant beefsteak and cherry tomatoes.
I've also planted red peppers once or twice. But this year I'm looking for
something different to plant. I live in Missouri. Can anyone suggest
something that is easy to grow and that I can consume almost everyday?
Thank you for your
suggestions.



hemp


Actually, he makes a good point -- sorta.

People don't realize that hemp was used for so many things in ancient
times -- clothing, sails, ropes, all kinds of products.

Now, to get hemp clothing, we have to import from Canada! Ridiculous.

In spite of all your so called "advantages" of growing hemp (and a lot
of them are a real stretch, you appear to know next to nothing about
petroleum in automobiles) you failed to advise that the grower may spend
his summer (or longer) in jail. There isn't a summer that goes by that
someone in my area who grows hemp (pot) is caught and goes to jail
and/or is heavily fined. Some areas of the country are quite liberal and
look the other way; some aren't and it isn't worth growing it if it is
illegal to grow it in your area. And try getting a good job if you have
been convicted of growing pot. It is not going to happen.
