We have vining plants going in on and around our "living fence" - they are going to completely cover this metal chain-link fence and create a beautiful, little-maintenance, food-producing area for you!
It's so easy to make small transitions like this!
These plants were nothing but fresh cuttings about a year ago, and now we have 70+ pounds of delicious food.
Yucca/cassava is a staple crop in a lot of tropical zones worldwide! It is very much like a potato, with a more fibrous texture.
Here in Central Florida, we are in a sub-tropical/tropical zone, meaning that guavas grow pretty well. A staple in Latin American cuisine, these delicious fruits are packed full of nutrients! (Most tropical fruits are!)
While lawns and ornamentals are beautiful...all we would have to do to stick a stake in the system is replace one tree on each of our properties with a fruit-bearing tree. The ability to produce money and power for ourselves is at hand!
Grow food!
We are locked into a system that is primarily motivated by money and power. We have given all of our money and all of our power to remain submissive, and most of us don't even know it.
Fear not - you can be introduced to an entirely new world of flavors with all of the edible perennials from a Food Forest!
Just look at the variety in this amazing salad!
Look at all of the new growth on the trees and the wildflowers springing up from seed!
We are SO excited to see this garden in a year's time or so - the abundance will be out of this world!
It's time to grow food, friends!
You can also see the new fence going up - we are putting it in place and will hopefully be buying some cattle for the land. They will have several acres to roam and eat! Stay tuned!
These will provide so many beneficial things to the area - wind breaks, shade, beauty, and of course, plenty of delicious and nutrient-rich foods for both us and the life that we will be supporting in the pond.
Our auger is helping to making the job super simple for us.
