Titus 3:5-7 King James Version 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Awesome video! This is so helpful as we are moving toward a more “wild” permaculture version of gardening to keep our soil covered. Even in zone 4B we appreciate some of these same plants already, like purslane and Lambs quarter which actually grow wild here. I’m excited to have some ideas of other things to sprinkle in and let go wild! I finally decided God is a much better gardener than I ever will be, and am now in love with all the wild food and medicine around us. 😍

The celery is called "cutting celery" in case anyone is looking for the seeds. It does very well in all weather - ours grows year round in zone 8. Definitely a more pungent flavor than you get with regular celery so you need less of it when cooking!

Cat mint as tea calms the stomach and intestines if they are spasming. It's a calming tea. Dandelion was brought to America from Europe as part of people's medicinal herb gardens. It's not just super nutritious, it has numerous medicinal properties - definitely worth reading up on. Eating a whole one (roots and all) can stop a UTI in its tracks (if you catch the UTI early on). Bees rely on dandelion flowers in the spring to survive when nothing else is blooming.
@OffRampTouristАй бұрын
The first one mentioned is most always called Lambs quarters where I live. It is closely related to quinoa and the seeds are edible too. It's my favorite wild green; smells so good when cooking! Early in the growing season I pick the entire tops of plants and cook them stems and all. Later just the leaves. So much better than spinach and no work at all.
@ISayFinnАй бұрын
John, the celery is used by many chefs, in the know, it's great! I love it because I can add a great celery flavor to any dish. It is stronger than the franken celery in the stores, but you don't need as much, but it's free in my garden and I don't have to run out to buy celery anytime I need it. I use the stalks as well, finely diced, and they cook up tender. The only thing it can't do is give large stalks, for eating with Peanut butter, but the flavor of celery is usually all that is needed in most dishes. I bought one plant years ago and now i have it growing everywhere. They are a two year crop, seeds the 2nd year, so I always let them go to seed. I can tell a celery plant as soon as I see the first true leaf. It's not invasive, I move baby celery plants around as I see them. I grow them in pots with other plants, like tomatoes or peppers, and the celery acts as a good ground cover, to protect the roots of the potted plant with plenty of shade. They actually get quite lush and are billowy and attractive, with a good growth habit. Easy to control, just remove lower stalks as it grows and freeze, freeze dry, or dehydrate for later use. Can be powdered as a flavoring agent. A gem in my garden, and a fabulous cooking staple!

When I grew peppers in Houston the first ones, in the early part of summer were fine; as the season progressed the skin grew to be so tough that I stopped growing them. From you I learned that if I grew them under something taller and bushier they’d be easily edible. Those black little berries -nightshade-grew near the first place I lived as a child. I was very interested in the garden plants. I was warned not to ever eat them cause they were poison! I did play house with them. On the purslane…those are the originals. The ones I get are flowering. They are hybrids from porculaca combined with those “wild” ones. Since I have only a patio, I am sadly limited as to what I can grow. Fingernails, toenails, a little hair and especially older!!!😂

this could give you another 30 shows to produce. Instead of people buying plants or seeds, Help them to find plants that grow wild in their area and can be moved into the garden setting so the garden will really take care of itself will little money or time spent. For example, Florida we have the everglades tomato, sea grapes, cabbage palm and wild yams. In most of the county they have wild grape vines. in the northeast we have grape vines, milkweed that has an edible center to the stalk, dandilions everywhere for the roots, leaves and blossoms. wild blackberries in the northeast, paw paw i think in indiana and many different types of greens nationwide. These gardens would need little if any fertilizer, pesticides or poisons. You would be helpting the planet and people even more. Monoculture is a danger to our ecosystem and this would reduce that issue. Oh in Florida, Bananas and papayas grow easily too and mango trees grow wild in some areas down here too. To fill in the blanks of knowledge you don't have, you could find classes that teach about wild edibles in different areas and bring in those teachers as your guest. Bye for now and good growing!

My easiest summer crops in the California desert are: Amaranth (I grow both seed and leaf amaranths. The leaf ones give me beautiful big leaves to eat in summer), green onions, chives, basils and other herbs, malabar spinach, okinawan spinach, cherry tomatoes, sweet potatoes for both leaves and tubers, wonderberries (these things are super easy and not all plants get pests), tomatillos, chard, beets. Some of the crops you mentioned really hate my garden. I cannot sprout a shiso to save my life. Or rather, I have sprouted a few but they all die. Mints all die. I keep trying with purslane, but yep, death. OH yeah, that type of celery. Also death! One day! Oops. forgot. I love lambsquarters. I have selected mine to have larger leaves and seed later in the season. I have noticed that all the ones in my garden now are big leafed and last year, they did not seed until really late. They also seem to survive the summer spider mites better as the years go on.

I have since grown them most every year and visit them regularly as i am blessed to live about an hour away. I have killed so many mail order purple tree collards but malabar spinach does wonderview Longevity spinach, okinawan spinach, perennial vegetables really are the way to go. I also continue to buy and grow. The video about your favorite vegetables that surprised you mail order from wellspringgarden where you talked about the kikos crump, and Aunt lils which is my favorite as well it is so beautifula and anthocyonin content is an added bonus these are the only two they currently have for whatever reason. Sadly i have not properly protected them during the winter so every year i stated again but they are worth it and grow fast. Mulberries are such a hated berry yet they are super delish, healthy and the leaves are edible if you heat process them so it is a win win. I do appreciate the time and effort you put into your channels and lifestyle, i agree with your continue to learn and grow as you go. In the heat grow cherry or the marble size tomatoes, you will thank me later. Those are the only ones i feel i have had sucess in as well as success in self seeding! Ube root amazing and tough, many do not think or understand sweet potato, of which i choose japanese sweet potato grow like a weed you can eat the root raw or cooked BUT HERE IS THE KICKER IF YOU LET IT GO IT WILL GROW LIKE A WEED!!! no joke plus it too will come back every year if you just let it go and grow wherever you do not have to harvest if you do not want to and if you are letting it go wild there is not much to harvest anyway but it will continue to produce massive amounts of greens that can be eaten both cooked and raw. The sweet potatoe is truly a perfect survival food.

But i recommend pickling purslane and am growing purslane here. I got it from an abandoned car park. You find it in parks, pops up in backyards, great nutritious easy plant. Tell people its not a weed, to keep it in their garden! Plant with roots, easier than cuttings.

When many of us were trying to eliminate these wild plants from our gardens and yards, the good Lord kept bringing them back to us. 😂

Is black nightshade related to Wonder berries? I’ve encountered the latter in California 400 miles apart and my dad had seen them in South Dakota I believe. The fruit branches like cherry tomato, the flowers are like tomato blossoms but I think they are white, not yellow or maybe both. The leaves and stems are similar but not fragrant like tomato. My sister made jam out of them once. Okay I asked too soon. Thanks!

If lambsquarter springs up all over your garden, leave them. They are a great trap crop for flea beetles and other pests that might attack other vegetables.

What a beautiful garden! Considering the bushy hiding places, how do you keep the snakes out? I have a small bushy garden and have seen snakes crawling near it. I almost gave up gardening because of them.
