Ciders and ferrets
  • Getozka is cosmopolitan, Portulaca oleracea. We have traveled the world, knowingly or in word, and in many places it lives well. It's Norwegian and ubiquitous. Like all we know, we don't know very well where it is from. When we talk about plants, we have a terrible trend: this is the one here, the one there, the one beyond...

Getozka (Portulaca oleracea) Atlantikoaren alde bietan dagoen arren, 
“beti” uste izan da Eurasiako landarea zela. Hala ere, 1492 baino lehenagotik Amerikan badela badakigu. Eta euskaldunek eraman bazuten? (Irudia: Michel Hacala)

The displacements and contributions of the plants to the valleys and the mountains help to create the chord of the history of the world. This rope is often weaker than the trail that the Ala leaves in the river; it's more masonry than the rope. Then there is a need to define the plants: this is invasive, that is immigrant, that of here, this other “always” has been here, that of there we have it in the shield of the family... And the shield could come only a small uproar.

Getozka (ed. : Frank Vincentz-CC By SA)

With Getaria, for example, it's pretty among the sages. Although today he lives very well in America, “always” it has been considered that the Getoza is a plant in Eurasia. However, due to the works of archaeologists, we now know that it existed before 1492. On Lake Crawford, its pollen and seeds are found in sediments from 1360 to 1650. Chronicler Oviedo mentions that in 1526 the Atlantic existed on both sides of the Atlantic. Indigenous ferrets cultivated corn (Zea mays) and sunflower (Helianthus annuus), and they also ate the getozo-growing in the middle. In 1623, a French monk named Gabriel Sagard, in the description of these territories, clearly explains that ghetto was abundant in fields of maize and pumpkin. Fraidea, in addition to composing the Hurés-French dictionary, published a series of books about it. Although we do not know where and when he was born, in that area he was named Sagard.

And there are two theories. Baga, the most natural one: the birds ate gingozosí, and on their visits extended to America. Biga, anthropocentric: Before Kolon, the Vikings took him. But in their territories, almost all at more than 60º latitude, there is no getaria (Iceland, Greenland, Ternua...). I'm also going to throw out the third one, without removing the heat: What if the Basques took him away? Here's the getaria, and there it appeared around the lands that our fishermen had traveled. Before the colon. What if corn and pumpkin came before? What if it was Sagard, Sagardi or Sagardia?
