where did all those wild vegies go ?
Hey I was reading a post on my cooking group and one user always
posts a factoid about food this time it was about a chili pepper plant and it's ancesstory . so my question is how come you don't just see vegetables growing all over the place wild like som crazy out of control tomatoes or somthing like that once I saw some whild sunflowers in the woods and I saw a pumpkin once but not too much else I see whild fruit all the time like crab apples or sour cherry but no bunches of Have we imbread cultivated food plants that they just don't grow wild where did all the wild plants go that we cultivated modern vegetables from? Just a queery Michelle "Love is the water in the garden of life " |

The wild plants are still there. They just look like weeds to you. Check
out Useful Wild Plants at: http://www.usefulwildplants.org/index.htm They teach a class call WeedFeed. You can learn to forage in your own backyard! |

Michelle...that was ages ago.LOL The Grand Valley, Colo. had wild
Asparagus growing the entire length of the Grand Canal ( about 60 miles) as well as all off-shoot irrigation ditches, both large and small. It first became against the law to go out and pick then later on they were poisoned by the "authorities"...this really angered the citizens and when voting time came, the citizens cleaned house. Too late but it did show resolve! Wild herbals are suffering the same fate...such a Mullien in Texas as well as other "healing" herbals. Texas Echinacea ( Blue corn flower) was erradicted over a century ago by greedy guts who shipped it all to Europe at an high profit! Only private patches grow now and they are few and far between. "and GOD made all growing things that were food to eat" (until commerical interests came along!! GRRRR!!) No wonder the EARTH is now doomed for destruction in 3034. It would have disappeared in 1998...but we were given a reprieve and the HELIM SUN a/o 09/03/91 was amelioratted by "Friendlies" from out thar somewhar!! We now have an all HYDROGEN Star with neutron ejection out of the ESE side and two small helium SUNS being FED by collectors crossing same. No helium chemistry See the net site :www.nasa.gov.SOHO.08/29/2003. or visit NASA SOHO site and plug in the imaging date per instructions. I HOPE they still have it available..if NOT e-mail me and I will send you a copy! It is AWSOME! This pix is iteration # 2 after the original setup in 1997 and 1998! The iteration #1 is in my crashed I-MAC..LOL! The original delivery of special "torpedos" by a HUGE spherical space craft is in my blown out 340 type MAC that has a badly designed power supply! It represents quite an history..then and now! I was an Aerospce consultant for oer 30 yrs and got in on the beginnings with SKY lab when our SUN went half-life on Jan 12, 1962 and began its crazy spiral toward its almost DEATH in Nov of 1997! We have a special group to thank..they ARE still in our skies. ( probably for at east 650 yrs to go or more??? "The Watchers"??? ) B-0b1 Michelle wrote: Hey I was reading a post on my cooking group and one user always posts a factoid about food this time it was about a chili pepper plant and it's ancesstory . so my question is how come you don't just see vegetables growing all over the place wild like som crazy out of control tomatoes or somthing like that once I saw some whild sunflowers in the woods and I saw a pumpkin once but not too much else I see whild fruit all the time like crab apples or sour cherry but no bunches of Have we imbread cultivated food plants that they just don't grow wild where did all the wild plants go that we cultivated modern vegetables from?

Elliot Richmond Freelance Science Writer and Editor The reason the "time table" was mentioned is that out GOV't is getting ITCHY and we might see a unified "dictatorship" LONG before the several BIG confrontations start SOON..sic: The continued fighting since Daddy Bush and the Gulf War followed by more OIL rich countries beginning involved.(as predicted) . ARMAGEDDON anyone??? Don't be so ready to POO POO this as it might mean your life?? LONG before the end problems begin. After all it wasn't that long ago the the Inquisition started in about 356 AD on a Monday , April 4th! TIME FLIES!!! And we still do NOT have our act together as a planet! Stupid remarks just delay it even further?? B-0b1 -- "Beaten Paths are for Beaten People". -- Anon. |

Elliot Richmond Freelance Science Writer and Editor -- My apologies for the "top Posting" but since Elliot seems as a blathering yet articulate Moron I felt it a useful ploy to do so..If HE would go to the NASA.gov.SOHO.imaging.date(as instructed) He might change his syllabus more quickly??? After all we ALL would have been DEAD BEFORE 2000.had none had the "Science" to make it otherwise! Count OUR Blessings people! LOL! I've been watching this scenario since Jan 12th 1962 when our SUN went "half life" and LOST its' Polarity! SEpt 1.2.3., 1991 saw our SUN go completely HELIUM. ANd HOT became a reality as did Seasonal CHANGES of a large Magnitude as well. The NEW SUN is all HYDOGEN again with controlled . geometries and chemisties to assure that HELIUM is NOT again allowed as a part of the once normal scenario! NASA may have Pulled the 08/29/2003 SUN shots??? If SO..I' will send it to anyone who desires same! All I need is a CORRECT "E-mail" to which I may send same! B-0b1 |

It's not orange, either, but cultivated carrots in other parts of the world come in red, yellow, white, and I think purple. You may see wild lettuces, but they don't look like lettuce once they've grown a flower stalk. Cultivated lettuce is picked early, because later it develops a bitter sap.
