Re: “Grow Local, Grow Natives”
wimsicle;
I've been working on a website that shows Monty's favorite native foods that can be grown locally. Though the website isn't finished yet, I think it provides the information that you are looking for.

Re: “Not Your Grandma's Marigolds”
Hi Heather. I'm considering planting Mexican tarragon in the Eureka/Arcata area about 3 miles from the ocean. I'm wondering if it's warm enough here in the summers to get adequate growth. The average summer high is about 65 degrees fahrenheit .
Also, I'm wondering whether snails/slugs are an issue with this type of marigold. Thanks.

Re: “Grow Local, Grow Natives”
John;
I know Monty and don't think that he is against Europeans in particular. He is against the mindset that nature needs to be "tamed". Unfortunately many of the Europeans that came here years ago had that mindset and we now see the results. The natural ecosystems that supported the Native Americans as well as wildlife has been mostly destroyed.
I've read about them to some extent, and the West Coast Native Americans really did largely live in harmony with the natural environment. There were many Native American tribes and their cultures varied considerably. As far as I know the West Coast Native Americans didn't use buffalos.
To say that technologal advancement necessarily means environmental destruction is a cop out. I don't buy it. People can be technologically advanced and at the same time protect the environment. What is needed is for them to care about the environment and about wildlife. If they care about these things they will protect and preserve them.
