So well said. Exactly.
We are basically having a drought right now and looking around to see what is thriving — it is these wild foods- certainly none of our greens! The corn looks great and the tomatoes and peppers... but so much is struggling.

Another thing I found that often folks will make bare ground and sow their seeds in it but nature doesn't like open ground and usually something will sprout from it. Many of those wild plant (weeds) will provide a ground cover so the earth does not become parched in the heat. I'm also a big into mulching to keep the water in the ground. Your gardening space still looks pretty productive for having a drought.
yes exactly! i have noticed that time and time again. we definitely mulch a lot, but it has still be quite dry this year. we have been watering a lot to help things survive, but it is noteworthy which plants are still thriving.
