[santoury]

That's the way to look at it - plants are just so expensive - $2 for how many seeds? We all will have fantastic yards now

I have ordered from them. They always have some interesting seeds. They also have some interesting reading. I don't know if I agree with them . A botanist friend of mine has been in a court case with them because he is a militant Anti native person. He wants no restriction on what exotics to bring in and he believes that imbalance will lead to diversity in the long run. My friend is a bologist that monitors and restores wetlands in California that are being over run by exotics. I am a whore for plants. I have ordered from him even though I know this history. I know another nursery in Texas that is well known for their plant explorations and he is of the same mindset.

Yes I learned that Hyacinth bean is itable"'HYACINTH BEAN'. Showy large purple Wisteria-like 3/4" flowers in upright 6" spikes, followed by 2 1/2 - 5" pods filled with dark seeds. Large broad leaves. Tender perennial to 10 - 20 feet, grown as an annual in the U.S. Eagerly grazed by cattle, sheep, pigs & goats, excellent green manure and erosion control. Adapted to 8 - 100" precipitation, many soil types, and is nitrogen fixing. The ripe seeds contain 20 - 28% protein, and are boiled for food (the water discarded), or sprouted like mung. Young green seeds eaten cooked, and immature pods are an excellent table vegetable. Young leaves cooked like spinach, and the flowers are eaten raw, steamed, or added to soups. The large, starchy root is said to be edible. Soak, nick unswollen, to germinate in 1 - 3 weeks. " I always thought they looked edible.
