10 Unusual and New Plants for your Garden – 3805
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:17:36 — 22.2MB)
Today I cover 10 edible plants you can grow in your garden. All of them are highly pest resistant, nutrient dense, great to eat and I will bet you haven’t even heard of at least half of them. And for another bonus all but one are perennial.
Gardening season is just ahead of use and everyone will be planting the usual suspects. Tomatoes, peppers, egg plants, squash, beans and many other well knowns will soon be all over America’s gardens and tables but these 10 all deserve consideration. Many of these are actually wild plants, others basically wild with just a bit of genetic selection and others have been cultivated for a long time. Some were once staples that fell out of favor in modern times and others are just being truly discovered by homesteaders and permaculturists.

Sub irrigation planter = SIPs. I’ve grown ground nut in them before. Works great, just give them vine supports.
Yeah that is basically a wicking bed, he was talking based on feed back about say soaker hose buried, I am not sure how that would function long term.
episode 3813, fantastic! as an apartment dweller using pots, this episode rocked!
I’ve been looking for something like the Goumi berry for a while now, mostly because our soil is such a wreck and I need a nitrogen fixer that actually gives back something edible. Most people just go for the standard landscaping, but I’d rather have a “food forest” vibe that actually serves a purpose. We’re actually in the middle of planning a full home remodeling project for the main farmhouse, and I’m trying to convince my wife to let me integrate these kinds of unusual perennials right up against the foundation instead of the usual useless shrubs. It just makes more sense to have high-calorie or medicinal plants within arm’s reach if things ever get tight. Jack always talks about redundant systems, and a yard full of “weird” edible plants seems like the ultimate backup plan.
