Many times dandelions sold in stores (and some markets) is really chickory.
Another thing is when you eat dandelions, pick them when they are younger,
more tender, and more tasty. That being said, they are still significantly
stronger than lettuce. I have learned to like more leafy greens as I eat
more of them, your taste buds may actually change when eating more natural
foods. Also grow them in rock dust and pick them fresh.
great vid John. Love your show.
You make me laugh munching on everything. You not afraid of aphids or slug
juice?
I am so glad to see that they are growing there. My son used to live near
the area you showed at first. Wow what a difference.
Thank you so much for showing me this. Ive never seen anything like this.
This really makes me want to go out and learn how to grow my own food!
So happy indeed lol.
Stinging nettles grow wild all around me. Had no idea they were edible. I
get poked a lot by them when I go hiking and they even invade my front yard
from time to time. – Heidi
check out Turtle Lake Refuge site here on YT, my most favorite spot, think
it would be nice to be living there. Raw food restaurant recepies.
Thanks for sharing 🙂
I made dandelion salad and they were good. Some greens can be more bitter
and changed the tastes after boiled.
please see watch?v=IJeBvn8LEA0 my episode on tropicals in SoCal.
This is wonderful to see!
Another very cool tour John. Had a question about your last video at Leslie
Doyles. Do you have a master list of the varieties that do well in the hot
arid regions like vegas that you could mail me? I seen that wall of seeds
in the video and was hoping you would mention more than just the Armenian
cukes. Our summers here aren’t quite vegas hot but still very similar.
Thank you for all you do and keep up the good work.
Did you say chowta plant? I want to research that fruit..how are you
spelling that?
Please do more trees about tropicals, especially tropical fruit trees that
are growing in SoCal, check tropical fruit forums and go to La hambra they
have many tropical fruit trees growing there
Another excellent video, John! Gonna start eating the dandelions in my
garden…always plenty of those here!
Yes, I think you’re right! Rau R?m (Persicaria odorata) is used in
Vietnamese cuisine as a spicy mint, also for medicinal purposes.
I love chayote! They are great substitutes for potatoes in soups. Amazing
vid john!
nice video John
hahaha!! John eating those nettles made me lol!
Good suggestion. And if he does, I hope he finds an operation that uses
organic and permaculture techniques (if any even exist). Nearly every grow
op I’ve seen featured (or can find info about online) is monoculture and
using a lot of conventional products (i.e., fertilizers, pesticides,
herbicides, etc.). Would be nice to see if there are growers out there who
use intercropping/permaculture approaches vs. more conventional practices.
“THESE LEAVES LOOK LIKE SOMETHING” lol u crack me up Jon, love your show!
Ive been a fan for 2-3years now and learn so much from your videos Keep
growing on!
1781 Rose St in Berkeley has an edible school garden,
That plant looks like something i have except it was called Vietnamese
Mint. it had a hot spicy taste. very nice taste though.
Chayote ( Sechium edule ). used as a veggie in the tropics.
