Grown on a bare patch of soil without disturbance at high density, this is an incredible example of dry farming in extreme situations. Edible leaves meant that I could have eaten from this patch throughout the summer without any irrigation. Seeds at the end of the season meant that I could eat those seeds or replant next year and expect the same or better success. Hoping others take the initiative and start to train their plants to need less.
