Have no concept of what the're missing. It's not just about the quality of the medicine (which is quite often downright stunning) but the experience of producing your own medicine. Sitting in my garden watching the hummingbirds trying to get nectar from the flowers. They don't seem to get much but they keep on trying. The wonderfull aromas and the heavy colas waving in the breeze. It's almost a zen experience.
I'm an outdoor grower and it somehow saddens me that in another month it will all be over.
But like many farmers I'll curl up this winter with a seed catalog and dream of crops to come...BB
