Plants are great Communicators, busy night and day. As living things, they have an agenda and an arc to their lives, just As We do. They change hourly, first to last. Waxing or waning.

They must want to be eaten, or they would not be so irresistible. Sometimes every part is marvelous, sometimes a plant is not fit to eat at present, and says so. Not every plant is here for Us. But every time, plants tell Us what’s what. All via Scent!

We can hear Scent, even when We’re upwind. Not every critter’s ears work that way, but ours do. There is a sweet Vegetable Siren Song that calls out to Us.

If plants were not so clever, We would be constantly getting poisoned, but that is a ridiculous idea for Us. Every plant is cranking out updates on itself, every minute. We just Pay Attention. Plants are generous with their powers, sharing them with Us on a daily basis. They are very trustworthy.

Plants are Nature’s Darlings. What sort of hooligans would We be, not to sing their praises?
