Very informative video Marjory. It get very hot in Central Florida too, but
we get more rain than most parts of TX. I found planting banana and
plantain trees in rows will help shade my other greens. Bamboo trees also
provides good shade and I’m sure it grows well in TX.

Great video, +Marjory Wildcraft! I have a ton (literally) of cannalillies
in my yard. Glad to hear they are edible and I might just try cooking some
up!

Hi, very interesting. We have abundant sedges here in PA. Never thought to
try the root nuts for food. They actually thrive in wet ground. The lamb`s
quarter is called pigweed here. Very nutritious, the fibers in the green
stem makes good twine as well as a good walking stick if you let it get big
enough.

Just an FYI on the bamboo part, A few species of bamboo have poisonous
shoots. I looked into raising some a few years back.

This video is really helpful and very informative. However, learning the
process of survival gardening gives you valuable life skills and
experiences of growing your own food.

Nut sedge to keep from getting pregnant? Wow… I’ll have to look that up
and see what references I can find. The nuts are a little bigger than peas.
I soaked them a long time and then cooked them – simmered in water – for a
long time before they softened up a bit. Kinda sweet, kinda nutty, really
enjoyable. It was sold as a food plot plant to attract wild turkeys. When
most of the easier food sources are ogne, the turkeys will scratch them up
to eat.

really? what variety of tomatoes are they? I know a few varieties work well
in the heat – which ones do you have?

Oh yes! Moringa is awesome. I didn’t have any that year – they do sometimes
come back from a hard freeze, but I lost the ones I had. The Moringa is
also rich in Vitamin A, and a bunch of other minerals. It would make good
rabbit food, except I used all that I grew for myself. You know, adding
that kind of nutritious leaves into teas and soups really does help the
body so much. Adding those nutritives is a lost habit our Grandmothers did
all the time.

I just double checked, and as it turns out, there is ample sunlight after
all. I won’t have any problems growing food there.

Keep me posted on how that goes. You know, there are different varieites of
cannas and some are specifically for the tubers… versus many of them that
are for the flowers. Marjory

Can you give me a latin name for “Nut sedge”? If I translate nut sedge,
it`s not the same plant as the one in your garden. But I do have something
similar in my garden. Most people here (Europa) treat it as weeds. Nice and
usefull wideo. Thanks
