RE: Weed grower diaries: distributing the treasures of the forest

I can relate! Trying to feed myself from the garden has been frustrating but also I have learned so much!! I have come to rely on some weeds like wild quinoa and amor seco. But for now I am focusing on what I do best - grow herbs for myself and for sale and then work in a store to fill in for what I cannot grow myself. Good luck with your journey!!

By wild quinoa do you mean chenopodium album? Feeding off the land is a hard task, takes more patience than I ever knew. Was it too much a hassle to set up your herbal sales?
It must be some kinda of chenopodium, they call it quinoa silvestre where I live. And as for the herb business it wasn't difficult as I am so passionate about herbs and I was already working at a store that sells health food & teas. The important part was to make the packaging beautiful and focus on herbs that no one else was growing or selling. Maybe you could do something similar!!
Yeah, that crossed my mind, if could be a good way to get some income 😊
