Something Different to Plant?
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. |

The Opposums, Racoons, Deer, Skunks, Rabbits, Gophers, Rats, Japanees Beetles,Coyotes and the neighbors Horses made me surrender. Prior to 25 years ago we got to harvest 1/3 of what we planted. The critters don't even mind the dogs or lights. Indeed my dog's best friends are Opposums. They eat out of his dish with him. Did I mention he's part Pit Bull. I might try again if I can ever afford a night security guard and enough insecticide to reapply every other day after the rain washes it off. |

There is NOTHING more ineffably ineffable than leaves of baby spinach rinsed wll and cooked with nothing but the water on the leaves (watch the pot!). A little lemon juice -- instant ambrosia.

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. Today, hemp could help alleviate the looming the oil crisis -- to the chagrin of the oilionnaires who are running this country. That's why it will take a long time, and a desperate world situation, before growing hemp will be "legalized" by our whores in Congress. Hemp oil could replace petroleum in automobiles and other uses. It grows on miserable soil; it needs no more care than a weed; it's a natural, renewable, non-polluting crop. Too good to be true? Not at all -- it's out there waiting... Persephone |

Lettice, radishes and bush beans in the spring and cabbage and winter
radishes in the fall. that would give you a crop about year round. From Mel & Donnie in Bluebird Valley http://community.webtv.net/MelKelly/TheKids |

Persephone 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) Err...people are running their automobiles on cleaned-up restaurant oils! WHO "knows next to nothing" about auto fuels? and you failed to advise that the grower may spend his summer (or longer) in jail. Why would I have to "advise", when everybody knows about persecuting pot growers, while subsidizing tobacco growers. Now *there's* a REALLY dangerous drug! 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. It's interesting to read the history of how industrial hemp became linked with "medicinal" marijuana, and criminalized. It was not always so. The fine hand of the automobile and oil industries can be discerned therein. Also the moralizing of 1930's bureaucratic fanatics, tinged with racism toward blacks. There have been quite a number of books written which detail that politically-motivated history. Dismaying. Confabulating industrial hemp -- one of the world's most ancient and useful commodities -- with "drug" marijuana is useful to the oil and auto industries, and to the moralizers who commit all kinds of evil themselves, but find it convenient to demonize others. Speaking of medical marijuana, I can think of nothing more hard-hearted than to deny a very sick, possibly terminal, patient the relief of using that natural "drug". Disclaimer: I don't use.
