As I get older, want to see green trees, flowers, natures beauty, want simplicity, relaxation, to be able to see the stars more clearer, grow my own food because I love eating lots of fruits and vegetables. Now when I try to eat junk foods it does not taste good anymore because I have been eating so healthy. In the process of getting a Healthmaster juicer to make smoothies and juices. Wish to eat only "organic" fruits and vegetables but tired of paying with my entire check....this is not the way God designed it to be. We are suffering as a nation because we are too dependent on others to feed us, clothe us etc., Its time to get more self-sufficient. Please send me information about how to grow yellow squash, carrots, peas etc., Lambs Quarter is great. I found out about it at an organic farmers co-op in another state. Feel free to send a comment to me or write me at P.O. Box 17234 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19105. Any information about gardening, rural living, moving to the country etc., would be great. I am ready for a new and simplistic life. I am ready to get in tune with nature...GOD! I am a city dweller and I am desiring to relocate to the country.

I have been eating Lambsquarter in South Dakota and Minnesota since 1973. I thought they were nuisance weeds until I read an article in Mother Earth News that same year. They have been my first food crop of the season in my garden ever since. It seams that you just need a tilled garden (or construction site) and God plants them for you. I even saw them in Mongolia when I was there in 1999. They will produce all season from early spring to late summer. Just harvest the tender branches of the mature plants and more branches will appear from the same plant later. The seeds are higher in protein than wheat. Leave some mature plants with seeds for next years crop. The wind will scatter the seeds, and in the spring new plants will grow without any effort or expense on your part. Thanks for the article.
