Only Edibles
So we’ve moved to virgin land that has only been forest since the beginning of time.
I decided to landscape with only edibles. Things I can eat. This is more difficult than you may think but I’ve discovered an interesting sub culture. There are people out there who only graze through nature. Acutally they are called foragers. Here is one from the UK. He teaches courses.
Here is the guy from the US who is the expert. He’s a bit freaky looking.
I ordered a deck of Wild Cards for all ages. Edible wild foods. You can buy them on his web page. I never new you could eat dock weed. Hmmm. I’m a sucker for anything nature related and informative. It must be the past home school mom in me.
Today to got some Palm Date seeds in the mail. Yes, they will grow here. They are currently soaking in a warm bath for 24 hours. Then, according to the directions on the packet, I have to plant in a sandy loam that is a bit wet. They have to live in a bright space so I guess that means hooking up the plant lights.
Won’t the neighbors think I’m out of my mind when I have date palms growing down the road? Of course, it will likely take 10 years to actually get any height. Who knows if we’ll still be here. Who knows how to harvest them. Who knows how long it takes to acually get dates. And the most important question…do deer eat them.
Onward I go in search of ’stuff to eat and grow’. If you come accross anything, let me know.
Oh, by the way, I came up with a great name for a business today. As I was driving the kids to school there was a bunch of crows feasting on a carcus. How about ‘Crow Recycling’ for a business that, well, recycles? They could have crows on their sign. No carcus’ though.
