Country life gives me lots of room to plant. In addition to a mixed garden each year, we have: Morel type mushrooms + a few diff button type mushrooms(mostly from composted storebought mushrooms that went wild), some shitake and oyster in the rotting woodpile (drilled a few years ago). 2 "bing" cherry trees 1 unknown sweet apple tree 1 unknown apple tree grown from cutting (its very young so...whatever the County was giving away) 2 black walnut trees (not so much for eating) A raspberry briar/hedge that would take over if I didnt cut it back to 25'long by 5' wide. I once made a raspberry wine that insulted the senses while liberating the soul. I also keep 3 indoor tents (w enough LED quantum boards to flashfry Dracula to ash) for a licensed ... "tomato" .... grow-op.
Nice, that was my one regret not being able to grow apples...but even folks up North can have issues with rust and other pests.
I made "Kamikaze" wine from a Catawba vine...not too bad, not too good. A wood boring pest meant I had to dig it up, dig up one Muscadine ( noble) and cut back most of the rest outside of one female muscadine...which meant very few grapes have formed this year....FL was way easier on the muscadines.
Walnut is not my favorite either...better Pecans for eating IMHO. We had a walnut in VA, just made a mess.

Let's just keep it legal, please...
S'il vous plaît. On me prête attention et je ne veux pas que d'autres personnes aient des ennuis. Je demande aux gens de ne rien publier d'illégal

When I was a kid, we used to grow steaks. Dunno if that counts.

Along those lines, in the 80's, the first week of deer season was considered an excused absence from class.

Not to be that guy, but it is very legal (within certain bounds) in many places, including here in Nevada. (And before legality was still legal to discuss the botany of.)

I think that is referred to as being a "vegetarian by proxy"

Works for traditional Eskimo's even with fatty seafood from the kelp/ seaweed forest below.
Also desert dwellers for many thousands of years...of course the desert dwellers in the ME have dates and olives and olive oil....and occasional fruits and nuts. The nuts, fruits and veggies one gets commercially are usually contaminated with fungicides, pesticides, herbicides, and other residues. Some people detox by eating only grass fed meat.

First, a nice handful of "Division 12" figs from a few weeks ago. Supposed to have a sweet almost grape flavor.
Second is the "Lewi" fig, this was my first common fig that came out...not much to look at, but is supposed to have papaya flavor. Never mind the reflection in the pic...

I am trying to grow Carolina Reapers indoors, but the flowers mostly fall off indoors. I would like to grow outside, but have an otherwise nice neighbor who grows different peppers, and I don't want to water down my peppers with his pollen...come fall they go outside to the green house when his wont be flowering. Then the fun begins....
Anyone else seed their laws with dandelion?
