we’d have the town landscaped!<<<

Not that hard to do, save any flower or herb and even veg seeds and tuck then in here and there, about town and in the forests.

yes, we would have a ball planting all those seeds.

Yes ma'am. And all the things are so much nicer when they are just randomly planted in the landscape! Gardens are great and need companion planting also but my "garden" plants get put all around the house in "flower beds" and everywhere there's the "right spot." A whole town like that could literally *feed* the whole town even if only some of the people looked after the plants.

Traditional flower beds and shrubs are nice I guess, but I like all my plants to have more purpose. Almost everything gives me food, tea, healing or something. I want useful stuff out of the beauty of my beds. And there are *so* many plain old easy care flowers and shrubs that are food, seasoning, tea or medicine that I see no reason for a lot of the ornamental beds people have. Yes, they are not my beds and they are pretty. But, I'd like those people to let me show them the *possibilities!*
