I went to tractor supply, purchased some fruit trees. I dug holes and planted them couple weeks ago. Two more apple trees for a total of 3 now. A peach tree, 2 large blue berry bushes (dont buy the dormant ones in the store, they are shit, they dont grow) and 2 cherry trees.
I planted 4 (20 foot rows) of potatoes, 1 row of carrots, 3 rows of beets, 4 rows of corn, 1 row of beans. I have 6 kale plants, 4 cabbage, 4 zucinni, 8 cucumber in the ground. Still germinating my tomatoe and pepper seeds. I have 12 sunflower that I will plant in near future.
My aspargus have been producing great this year. My pee has smelled terrible for weeks. Lol.
I also have 10 chickens producing more eggs than I know what to do with. Family and neighbors have been fighting for them.
I still have room for more stuff, trying to decide what I want to put in. Do you have any suggestions?
Now Im out to cut grass and do some weed wacking. I have almost a acre of land, my garden actually takes up a small portion of my property. Its hard work but it fills up my deep feeze every year. Have a blessed day.
I'm lucky to live in the deep south, I grow veggies year round. Okra is a no brainer. the entire plant is edible and it is a staple around here. I have also been studying and identifying wild "weeds". I am amazed at the number and varieties of fresh food God has provided for us. Many of them are typically poisened to make room for the manacured yards.
Wild lettuce (aka opium lettuce) for pain & sleep - gather in the wild.
Mullein - for respiratory infection, urinary tract infection, also found in the wild, but you can gather seeds & cultivate in your garden. My daughter-in-law grows her own & makes tinctures.
Plantain not edible? I've made plantain chips and ate them, they are tastey
Lots of adults use hallucinations for spiritual purposes, also microdosing which lots of people get better results than prescriptions drugs for things like ADD or Depression. I guarantee once the cabal is finished, lots of medicinal studies will commence on natural substances to heal people.
There is a plantain that looks like a small green banana that is a staple of Caribbean cooking and is quite tasty, genus Musa.
There is also a lawn weed also called plantain that looks like a dandelion with rounded leaves and a stalk-like floral raceme, genus Plantago. It is one of three or four thing on earth I am allergic to.
Dandelion leaves make decent salad greens and the tap root can be dried and ground to make chicory “coffee”. In fact, the entire plant is edible. Dandelion wine is made from the flowers. Genus Taraxacum. If you want some for free, come and dig them out of my lawn.
Bananas? are you kidding?
The green ones fried, taste like french fries. The ripe ones are sweeter.
They are extremely edible.
I didnt know about the mulberry we have tons of them here on our property
On the back of my property there is a fence line separating my land from the adjacent farmers. The land is lightly wooded and isnt used by the farmer. All along the fence line I have planted elderberries. My wife makes jams and pie from them. Elderberries grow wild all over Michigan in lightly wooded areas so there is no care involved.
There is also a ton of wild asparagus along this fence line. If you are in Michigan, asparagus grows wild all over. Gotta get it in the spring before it gets woody.
Yes. Ive gotten a foraging book and am trying to see how many “remedies” grow where I have access. I have found mullein and morels. Plus I grow as many as I can like meadow rue, echinacea, calendula, dandelion, chickweed, willow etc
u must be Yankee, morels and mullein are not local to me
Im in Oklahoma. Mullein grows wild close to water sources snd morels will come up near dead cottonwood trees if your lucky 😉
