Pretty much spot on, but, I guess I haven’t risen to the level where I feel so threatened yet as to have to make like a rock thank goodness.
My Grandmother and her entire family survived the Holodomor in Ukraine. It can be done.
I live in a state that so far doesn’t put up with messing with agricultural producers much. Not to say they won’t, if their arm gets twisted by the feds in the right position, just that I think they know that is a can of worms best left sealed.
I will add a few things to the list…plant perennial plants vs annual plants.
First off, perennials are much less affected in a weather extreme such as drought or late frost. The plants may die back a bit or produce less but, not completely die. Secondly, they can often be planted in a multi-storied environment, such as in partial shade or filtered sun. Almost all annuals require full sun in order to produce well. This difference in perennials allows them to be planted beneath trees and hide in a forest.
Many plants that will grow in a natural environment will be hard to distinguish from their poisonous brethren. Having a few confusing ones in there might scare some off from trying to pilfer them.
Mushrooms are one obvious example
