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.

I gave it up.
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.

Baby spinach.

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.

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...

Yeah...chard. Good all season. Big leaves cooked, baby ones in salads. To
die for.

Yeah, but what's a home gardener supposed to do with it, other than the
obvious, which would require sharing it with the police?

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.

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.

Err...the smokeable stuff is not exactly the same as the
clothes-sails-oil-paper, etc. stuff.

Googling keywords "hemp vs marijuana" elicits many
sites making that distinction, and explaining industrial
uses of hemp.

Sorry, dude! g

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".
