Shelled a few gallons of local cowpeas that one of my elderly friends has been saving all his life (I grew these).

This pea is an heirloom to this era dating back to pre-civil war times. It’s extremely well adapted to my climate, nothing else grows like it here. I get massive amounts of food from it.

These things do not survive if new generations do not save them. This pea was a few seeds away from extinction at least twice already. These are precious things, many have been lost already.

Human civilizations cannot survive if we do not have resilient food systems.

We finally have real money. We need real food & medicine. The money will mean nothing if you have nothing to eat.

Go talk to the old man/lady with the garden, he/she might be saving something that’s absolutely priceless for your community resilience. If you don’t act soon it could be gone forever
