I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Help? The Medium (Email) links are for screen viewing and emailing. You'll want bigger sizes for printing. [Click here for additional help]

35. BGCULT_220403_180.JPG: Nobody knows exactly where this pungent plant was first domesticated. People near Kazakhstan, Iran, or Russia probably selected wild plants to concentrate the distinctive flavor of garlic. Southern European farmers began growing garlic about 1,000 years ago.

37. BGCULT_220403_191.JPG: This leafy pizza topping was domesticated by people living in and around Iran. Historians think Moorish traders brought spinach to North Africa and Spain, and then spread it to Italy.
