There’s more to a garden than just flowers, herbs or veggies. More and more people are considering growing their own cotton! And tobacco! Even tea!

Some folks just want to be more self sufficient or at least try to see how self sufficient they could become. After all, our grandparents didn’t just run to the store for anything and everything. They ate what they produced OR they traded something they produced for other goods.

You find some folks growing a little Nicotiana Sylvestris (A wild tobacco) around here, and I’ve even noticed in the nearby college town there’s a hookah bar where they
an Herbal shisha in their pipes. (Or so I’ve heard.)

Seems very 60’s to me.
