RE: Siberian Pea Shrub 🌱 Abundant Soil Building, Food, Fodder & Seeds
I just love enjoying your beautifully laid out well done post @sagescrub. I think this Bush grows here very well, and there's lots of it and is called 'karagana'. I adore this wild bush! And, often ate the peas raw when i would play in the trees as a child. It's super cool to know we could actually harvest & enjoy these peas in meals like dahl. My mother would really think I'd lost it if i told her that! Very neat tidbit. Very very cool! #foodisfree
Thank you @yogajill! Yes! Caragana! I have never seen it in the wild, but I have known it in a few homesteads I visited or worked for and really appreciate this plant :) Haha!
I don't know if they are wild or not here. They can sure grow like mad crazy though. They make such a good boundary keeper. Such a wild bush! It's cool you took a liking to it. I feel like many see it as a nuisance around here. I've always had a fondness for it! The bees just love the blossoms. They get thick with buzzing.
That's the way I feel about blackberries around here. Farmers are annoyed with the invasive blackberries, but maybe they should just farm blackberries and sell jam and pies and syrup!!
