Planning on it... my new website and Green Dean Forum and newsletter and conventions are taking up a lot of time. As soon as I can get a couple of days free I will.

[EatTheWeeds]

Thanks... I've been busy with the website update... I do need to do some more vids.

I thought this was Carissa at first until you showed us a closer view of the fruit and leaves. The fruit is much smaller. It looks yummy.

@LKathyRunkle The Carissa is alsoa armed with large double thorns.

By the way, earlier, springtime, I did the Blue Ridge ride! What rides have you done this year??

[EatTheWeeds]

@RainbowLogic No rides per se but I do ride down to West Palm Beach and Port Charlotte, couple of hundred miles each, usually up at 4 down for a class at 9 then ride back in the late afternoon.

Green Dean, I have just started watching your videos, and find them very interesting. If you would, I would love to see a video of "weeds" in which you make a square meal with protein, fiber, vitamins, and so on, and point out their value. Even through in some wine. I live in Indiana so weeds indigenous to here would be great! :-) I love the videos please keep em comin!

[Farfromhere001]

WE NEED NEW VIDEOS! IT'S ALMOST SPRING! Recaps, general tips, etc. would all be great! Also any info on brewing beer or whatever would be cool as well!

Excellent stuff. This type of REAL work and research is completely overlooked in the "fast" and "super-efficient" mega-agricultural age of over-production. I learned last year that the "peas" in a Black Locust "pea pod" were edible (as was the flowers), and you could make beer supposedly with the pods. That said...I made no beer, but I certainly fought off the bumblebees for the flowers and later this year, the peas. Quite tasty.
