I collected the last of the bobatsi seed from the plants in my garden today. I have probably ten thousand seeds in a jar now. I hope to use the seed as demonstrations in the early spring when bobatsi first comes up when the other vegetable plants aren't willing to fight the cold. Already we have been discussing seed collection techniques for bobatsi, serue, and tepi, the most prominent wild vegetable plants in the the area. If people are successful enough then they can use this local plant in the gardens, grow something quick and early to sell in town when other people are wanting of fresh vegetables. Bobatsi is also loaded with nutrients. This is probably why I don't like the taste. To me it's like eating a multi-vitamin and I don't mean the Flintstones kind.
