RE: Wild Food Gardening: Gathering the Abundance!

in #homesteading6 years ago

Good point... I just came out of the city and I have almost no clue what to eat. But I am starting to recognise so many different plants and learnong about them now too... and trees.

As far as the drought, next time this happens save the seeds of whatever survives and plant them again next year. You can actually teach plants to have a stronger will to survive without water, over time. That's what the weeds did!

good tip - thanks!

You're welcome. There's man named Pascal Poot, in a dry and arid part of France who gows 400 types of tomatoes without water or fertilizers. And he produces the same amount of fruit as traditional growers!

yes! great point coconut! we are finding that some of our arugula and kale have been self selecting in this way and those are the ones that are re-sowing (we let them go to seed and self sow). curious to see how this will pan out over the years.

Thank you.

I would like to do that when we have a proper garden/food forest design started. I am curious to see that too
