Will You Go Or Will You Stay?

Mostly tobacco, but not really smoking tobacco - it's "sacred tobacco", used by Indian medicine men to alter their reality and commune with spirits, as it can be downright hallucinogenic - it's anywhere from 3 to 9 times stronger than smoking tobacco, and can be up to 20 times stronger in some cases. Not for the squeamish smoker.

Hemp did not sprout, and I've tried 3 times now to get some of it to sprout, so I'm hanging hemp up for the year for this year. Poked some beans in the dirt, but they must not have been magic beans, because nothing has sprouted there, either. Quinoa did not sprout, nor did the pampas grass... so mostly tobacco. some rosemary, and some basil, and looking for some mint a little later in the year, maybe some catnip and goosefoot if I can get out there to forage a few growable plants..

But mostly tobacco.

I'm looking at getting some corn and bean seed from the Cherokees for next year. The corn is a flint corn rather than sweet corn, so better for meal, flour, hominy and roasting ears, not so great for traditional corn on the cob.

It's that eclectic and mostly useless to modern folks collection that makes my Hillbilly garden a "weird" one.

Might poke some taters in the ground next year, too. taters have a pretty good return on investment.

The mint and the rosemary are growing like weeds. I was trying to wait a bit for the potatoes, because it has been so dry, but I may just have to add them to the list of those that I have to water on schedule.
