Another sign that spring is underway: the
mustards—ah-CHOO—are beginning to bloom on southeast-facing hillsides. Hundreds
of mustard species proliferate in Wyoming, I’m told. Most folks consider
mustards to be weeds, but some sustainable farmers use mustards and other
brassicas (such as radishes, rapeseed, and turnips) to help control nematodes,
fungi, and invasive weeds.
Stockholders in companies which manufacture
facial tissue and allergy medications probably have mustard pollen to thank for
part of their proceeds!
Some of the pollen-est flowers I know! |
“For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and
it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” –MATTHEW 17:20 (ESV)
