Desmanthus illinoiensis

[innerlightof1]

Last week I received the Desmanthus illinoiensis seeds I purchased on-line. They were under $30.00 a pound so now I have around 75,000 seeds for a mass planting in the wild around my area. I heard they need to grow around three years before beginning to harvest small amounts of roots from them without harming the plants. Has anyone else on here tried anything similar? I don't know weather to plant late this fall or wait till early next spring. I'm going to experiment since I have so many seeds, but not to much because I still don't want to waste them. Anything any of you know might be helpful. thanks

Johnny Appleseed was a real dude! (forgot his real name) I learned it from Botany of Desire, which is a very good movie. He planted tons of apple trees, just before settlers arrived to new places. He made money off the trees, but also just loved apple trees. Turns out, because of the wide diversity in apple genes, its rare to get a tasty apple from seed. So what did they do? Made booze! Hard cider became a staple. So yes, much like Johnny Appleseed, you'll be spreading a consciousness changing plant! But at least this substance expands the mind, rather than lowering it and poisoning the body.

Are they native to your area?

Let's not forget about invasive species.....

Let's not forget about invasive species.....

An increasing number of folks are starting to refer to us as an invasive species.

Yeah they're native to my area Weire. I think they may become slightly easier to locate in the next few years around here. I also ordered ginseng seeds to plant in secret remote locations...Those were expensive!
It does seem like most people are very invasive the way they disrespect the plants and animals we share this planet with. Maybe these very plants will help to show some of them the light.
