 @a9ace6a9 and that would be the easy way out.  Aneurysms are quick.  More likely, you'd die a death similar to being pecked to death by huge chickens. Red chickens.

 @a9ace6a9 I don't think you'd like that job.

 @adfbf87b I've been told that the flowers are very tasty, but I've never eaten one

In previous years, I would net all of my kale and fennel to protect from bu... 
 @adfbf87b is this bronze fennel, or the bulbing type?  I love to eat the bulbing type and I found it to be kind of perennial.  Cut a bulb, leave the root, and often I'd get a new bulb.

Sadly, I've only had butterflies eating it one year.  I like butterflies.

 @adfbf87b looks like a nightshade, is it?

 @adfbf87b awfully high in oxalates, though.  😥

 @adfbf87b what does it taste like? 
 @adfbf87b have you ever grown watercress?  It's super easy, unless your dog eats it like mine used to.  Very good nutritionally as well

 @adfbf87b this one looks very interesting to me.  I might like to try it.

 @2a70c54d I hope you're not already making noises as you get up!  😁. Me, I'm over 60, and I dance competitively.  Do keep moving. Not doing so causes premature creakiness. 
 Why is it that when you get old you have to make noises when you stand up or get out of a chair?? 
 @2a70c54d lol.  Define old.  😅 
 @c09f86d3 is this an old thing?  Or a new thing? 
 @adfbf87b really kind of you to offer seeds!  I hope lots of people take you up on that offer!  It surely would help the pipe vine swallowtails.

 @6398bf2a yes, I'm guessing walnut family. How about taking the hull off of one of the actual nuts?  Might help with identification
