hot, dry tropical climates around the globe,
So I take it the plant won’t grow in the Midwest?
>>What? Can’t smoke it as well? The blurb sounds like what the hemp/doper crowd goes on about.
Of course it can be smoked. And the hippies will probably claim that smoking it cures lung cancer.
Sounds like they need some culling! They’ll grow bigger afterwards.

Ha ha A. Illegal to discharge firearm in this part of suburbia. B. If I wanted to eat deer I’d hunt deer, but we really wanted vegetables.
Blue camas lily, aka camassia, have tasty edible bulbs. Passersby won’t know they’re food crops & steal them. Native Americans cultivated & ate them a lot.
Same with Jerusalem artichokes.
Steer clear of the white camas lilies, though, aka deathcamas.
Those “pathetic little things” ate six tomato plants complete with almost ripe tomatoes down to 1 foot stalks in a single night after pushing aside the tomato cages they were growing on. Natural born Democrats. Take what they didn’t contribute to and then move on to devastate another spot
We are Zone 7 & have 3 “Maylunggay” (Moringa) trees in large pots. We trim 2 of them back to approx. 4’ height, and the biggest one to ~5’ (above the pot)* and bring them indoors B4 the 1st frost. They stay in a cool room (~45 deg. minimum temperature) until there is no danger of frost. (They usually start leafing out around May 1, for us.) Once several days have been 80 deg. F or more, they are off to the races.
*There will also be at least a couple good size roots growing through the bottom of the pot. We trim those off too and the plants recover fine in the spring. You could probably use a 5 gallon bucket with holes in the bottom for a pot, but 10 gallon pots are better - IF you can move them ok! I believe branches can be cut off and rooted - 3x 5 gallon pot / bucket trees may be more manageable than one 10 gallon pot tree. I suspect a tree outgrowing its 5 gallon bucket could be sold with a few branches trimmed back to finance new buckets and soil. I’d make sure the cuttings were off to a good start before selling the parent. :-)

(I have no idea if cut off roots can be used to start trees - maybe?!)
All sounds good but I’m really tired of hearing the nonsense word “superfood”.
Let's start a rumor that it cures Trump Derangement Syndrome, and see if we can get it to go viral.
The seeds inside them taste like pecans. I ate them when I was a kid. 2 years ago, I found a large plant on the turn row. Pilled the pods near my shop for them to dry. They disappeared. The rats discovered them. They ate every one of them.
And the leaves were for the healing of the nations. Hmmm...
We could use that.
I read the article, but am not convinced I want to add it to my food. I garden. Like a variety.
gmta...the next CBD product.
Pretty soon you’ll want TWO
The best things about small deer is they are easier to handle when butchering.
One gets to shoot more of them to feed the family.
One just needs a better imagination to harvest deer in suburbia.
I would suggest reading some of Ragnar Benson books for a few ideass
Survival Poaching
Ragnar’s Ten Best Traps: And A Few Others That Are Damn Good Too
Ragnar’s Urban Survival: A Hard-Times Guide to Staying Alive in the City
that excludes a lot of America
I guess it will work for preppers in Tucson
