We don't have a local farmer's market, the closest one is 40 miles away and they apparently are very picky about vendors. Also we aren't in the market business anyway, and people here are so close-minded about stuff you just can't teach them anything. There are still idiots wearing masks IN THEIR CARS!!

Wow! I don’t think that you could get the auto-mask wearing people to purchase stuff at a farmer’s market.

The most interesting person I encountered wanted soap that had never been touched. I told her that she was probably not going to find what she wanted at a farmers’ market.

I love this plant, I can literally pick the leaves and eat them on the spot. Licorice mint is the common name I know it by.

Yaaa, it’s very graze-able. Valuable calming weed. Have you tried to move any of that herb at the farmers market?

One of my favorite herbs, natives, pollinators, and flowers—all in one spectacular plant.

I meant pollinator forage plant, of course.

Finally reestablishing my patch from a sole survivor of this wonderful herb after my husband pulled it all out. Not enough to harvest just yet, but it has a happy place and I have three healthy plants there. Shouldn’t take too long …

There’s always the work of training the “spousal unit” in the herbal ways 😎. Glad you recovered that great weed.

I have accepted the fact his strategy is total ignorance to avoid pulling weeds. (I have the same strategy for anything under the hood of a vehicle.) The anise hyssop heist delivered me from denial. Couldn’t he smell that wonderful fragrance? Apparently not!

🤣 right about strategy and maybe selective smelling goes with it.
