Plant Assassin
Raised on a farm in the shadow of the Hitt Mountains, I am now exploring lessor known crops of the world (and some more common ones) that will grow in the Rocky Mountains. Although one of my goals is to find viable crops for niche markets in Idaho, I treat my plants more like a botanical menagerie.
