Did you know you can grow goji berries in Durango? I didn’t give mine a drop of water during this dry summer (I didn’t want to encourage them) and yet they keep producing and spreading. My three plants have turned into a goji jungle! The berries are loaded with antioxidants. Fresh, they taste more like a bell pepper (birds don’t seem to like them) so you could use them in salads or stews; dry, they’re good on cereal/granola. You can also steep the berries to make tea. And our dog loves them.
