Hi Everyone, ... Oh gosh, maybe I'm late. But first things first. Is this a Masterjohnism this term crucifer? I mean, the genus is Brassica in most cases,...
I think it is because we are addressing the highly cruciferous nature of certain brassicas. I also agree with your 'all things in proper balance' notion, which...
