Maybe we can grow vegetables naturally

Imagine finding an unused field with healthy fruit trees and vegetables growing among a tangle of grasses and weeds. What does this tell you? Maybe vegetables don't require modern agricultural methods and maybe... just maybe we can scatter all kinds of ground cover, herb and vegetable seeds randomly together to replace the grasses and weeds that come up in this unused field! Maybe we can grow vegetables naturally.

There is effort involved, though. We can't just sow seed, disrupt the natural cycle of things in this unused field and forget about it until harvest. We have to assume responsibility. There are natural patterns in the field. Seeds are sown in the fall and germinate in the spring; we have to do the same thing with our cover crop of, say, white clover...
