an impressive thistle, some wild grapes which look remarkably like their domesticated cousins but have a radically different flavor...a wild strawberry which looks very little like its domesticated cousins ( a hybrid of north american and chilean strawberries cross bred in france in the late 18th century ) and don't taste like them either...and a stunning "wild and weedy" maize ancestor.
Organic rather than transgenetic. Labor instead of chemicals. Diversity in place of monoculture.

About Me
- fred
- an ex- industrial worker ( the continued automation of jobs, condensing of ownership, plant closings, trade wars, and degradation of living standards here has rendered me a former industrial worker...now just part-time lumpen proletariat) and university student (everyone needs a hobby...my hobbies have evolved and, to keep things straight, i have left my formal student career behind for reasons that are too detailed to delve into here...continuing to be a student of life however and not adverse to learning...stasis is death ) sliding down the back side of middle age...a social loner with collectivist leanings...explain that.
