  • Apple orchard.   Monocroping grains and vegetables doesn't work very well very often.

  • Permanent Ink Markers.
    I say with a little faith and imagination it can be done.
    I'd plant a whole meadow full of them.  
    They come in all sorts of pretty colours, some even have glitter,
    and I like the way they smell.
    Let's colour this world rainbow happy.

    Something in the squash family, like zucchini.

    From what I've seen, they're super easy to grow and produce ridiculous amounts of edible product. This post was edited by SaltyPebble at January 19, 2020 6:21 PM MST

    I am a sort of 'mini farmer'.  I grow tomatoes. I like to eat them but basically, they just grow well in the soil around here. You can't buy tomatoes like this at the store. The homegrowns are too delicate to ship without damage. They need the soft outer skin to produce the flavor.
