Primitive Gardening

[gamgee]

I just started reading Buffalobird-Woman's account of native American gardening techniques. She was a member of the Hidatsa tribe, born in 1839.

I have the book, but I found this link if anyone's interested.

That reminds me... I was going to try to get a copy of an herbal medicine book from a tribe near Happy Camp, California.

The medicine woman there was prolific and wise. Her book is considered a tribal treasure, but they don't mind sharing it to spread the knowledge.

I just have to find my notes on what it was called and how to buy a copy from their tribal museum......

You're very welcome. I've only read a bit, but it does seem interesting.

I read about the sunflowers. Lately I can't get my sunflowers to grow. This year I didn't even try

I've had a soup like that, green corn, beans, squash and dried chillies and cumin. If I made it i'd add some peanut butter and cook 5 mins more.

Thank you so much for this, gamgee. Chapter VII, Storing for Winter was the most enjoyable read for me, being a nerd I found their cache pit design was fascinating!!!
