To celebrate this Fourth of July why not plant and/or use some plants native to the Americas? Some such as tomatoes and potatoes were unknown in the old world until they were imported from the New World. Thanks to all those over the thousands of years who propagated these plants so that we might have them today. I cannot imagine life without tomatoes, peppers, and many of these other delicious and nutritious plants.
Some other edible American plants are quinoa, corn, monarda, camas, cattails, wild rice, miner's lettuce, peanuts, and chocolate (an excuse to eat chocolate to celebrate the 4th? : )). Before consuming plants be sure you are identifying them properly and that they were not treated with pesticides.
