The more I do this, the more I recognise that almost ALL the plants growing freely here are EDIBLE - almost none are poisonous or not-useful
Beautiful. Have been teaching my children exactly this for years already though I didn't have much evidence for its truth till this moment ;)
Thanks for the super interesting response. Lots of nuggets in there!
Having collected seeds for a few years now I have 100% moved on from that scarcity feeling you mentioned and sewing in huge swathes seems logical. Though for the most part I have realised that sewing is no longer needed at all. Lettuces for example are popping up everywhere at this time of year and the only action I need to take is to move them off the paths. Coz they will get squished if I don't.
Love the borage forest and the hidden cat!

Ah, beautiful, and YES to just watching nature throw things up in front of us!! Me too, finding lettuce and cabbage all around: even if I planted them in a pot, they tend to move somewhere else mystically :-D Heheh! Glorious work we're doing, guardians in Nature...
