I had a big shock at the grocery

store the other day when I bought two bags of organic vegetables for a

hundred bucks. Of course my bags are cloth and bigger than regular

bags. Still the price of food is outrageous. I can't afford it but I

need it so what do I do? It seems as if there is no choice but to

go farther into debt and work more hours. Money doesn't grow on trees

right? But food does!!

 

Edible Landscaping is

nothing new, growing our own food is the first thing we did when we

stopped

being nomadic and started being "civilized"!

 

Learn about edible

landscaping and how it will save you lots of money by producing food.

 

Food

looks nicer then useless decremental plants

and after the pretty flowers drop you have fruits and vegetables. :-) Woohoo!!! :-)

 

Why have ugly bare fences

when all you have to do is plant some beans, then water them and have a

green

fence with white and lavender flowers?

You can plant most whole beans that you buy at the store and 50 cents

worth

can cover many feet of fence. Plant only one bean and the plant can

give you more than 50 beans. Think about it.

 

Why waste all that water

on

your lawn when you don’t have to be like everybody else. Consider an

edible lawn.

 

Don’t spend a dime to get

started and plant the seeds from the foods you eat. If you eat a tomato

throw

the seeds in a pot of dirt and add water. If you eat a potato, plant

the eyes

for nice one foot shrubs to use in landscaping your estate. If you eat

a beet plant

the

tops and watch how fast you have fresh organic beet greens that add

color and

look great in your yard. Talk about good for you too. Beet greens are a

wonderful food.

 

 

Recycle milk jugs, five gallon buckets, yogurt

containers, etc, etc and plant in them, then plant your plants in the

ground.

 

 

 

People who are smart

are buying Organic food as this food is real and doesn't contain man

made poisons. This is very necessary in the world today where

pesticides, genetically modified foods, antibiotics, drugs, steroids

and growth hormones are in what is being called food. Food grown

with out all that stuff is called 'Organic' and your body knows how to

process

it, regular food is poison, not usable by the body. Mans inhumanity to

man is well known and we wonder how it is even legal to sell this

poison but it is. Organic is the best we can buy right now and it is

important that we support this ever growing effort. If you wonder why

Organic food is more expensive, it is because it is food. If you don't

have enough money to eat Organic- You don't have enough money to eat

food. Non

Organic food is not food.

 

Now there is food that is

ten times better then the Organic food you buy at the store.

 

You can't find a more

nutritious healthy food then the food you grow yourself.

 

People tell me all the time that

they don't have a

green thumb and they can't help themselves to the best food on the

planet. I say growing Organic food is as easy as putting a seed in some

dirt and adding water. Neanderthals figured it out, so can you. Just

experiment until you can grow your own food.

 

It

seems like mankind is trying to use all of Earths natural resources and

it looks like

we're trying to cover the face of the planet in asphalt too. If you

have

property stop wasting your time mowing that grass and stop wasting

money and water to keep that pointless grass alive. Learn about Organic

Edible

Landscaping, Organic Gardening, composting and seed saving. Get

everyone in the community doing the same and you'll have an abundance

Great ideas, Bryan! My husband and I live on a very small 50'x123' lot in the city where our 2 large dogs have run of the back yard. We are also have a black walnut tree (very little grows under or near them). We have the use of the south side of house and garage. We have a 22' picket ence that my husband put in for me a few years back (neighbor control!) and he built a small raised bed in front of the fence that is about 8" tall and about 18' wide (the property is angled so this all we could go because of the driveway). He dug the dirt deep (about 12") before adding the raised bed and he siftedout all the rocks (he made a homemade dirt sifter out of leftover wood and wire that has small squares). He added compost (we compost) and cow manure (store-bought). We get the most amazing veggies out of this area!!! We grew pole green beans up the fence (and hubby added 8' tall wood posts and strung heavy rope on them to hold up heavy bean vines), 3 cabbage plants, some head lettuce, the hugest green, red, and yellow peppers (9 plants-rivalled store-bought!), 3 banana pepper plants, 1 scotch Bonnet, and 2 Early Girls (tomatoes). We grew leaf lettuce in containers.

Along the side of the house we grew 12 Marglobe tomato plants (Heirloom), garlic (we have some growing now!), red onions and yellow onions (small patch near fence by side of house), and herbs in pots and containers (basil, oregano, tarragon, thyme, parsley, cilantro, sage, chives, marjoram, and Rosemary). Strawberries in an area that used to house flowers. We started with 2 plants 3 years ago and now have close to 100! I am hoping that either next year or the year after that we get enough to make jam with. This year was just enough every day for almost amonth to have a small serving for breakfast. Along south side of garage we grew white Kennebuc potatoes. Along back side of garage we grew Red Pontiac potatoes and pickling cucumbers. People cannot believe how much we get from our small garden! The front yard is too shady to grow anything except impatiens and herbs.

I canned over 60 jars of stewed tomatoes, 26 pints and 3 quarts of bread and butter pickles, 9 half pints of pickled peppers, 36 quarts and 15 pints of green beans, 7 pints and 3 quarts of sauerkraut, 7 pints of chow-chow (relish), and I have frozen tons of red, yellow, and green bell peppers to use until next harvest. We also harvested 126 pounds of potatoes!

One word of caution~make sure that the food you are eating is not a hybrid or you may not get a true plant from the seed you plant. It is best to start your own tomatoes and save seed for the next year. Hybrids cannot be trusted to come up like the parent plant.

I love having our own foods~even though it isn't all we eat~but it is better than nothing. It is amazing what you can do with a small piece of land.

Brian,

I can tell you live on rich Florida muck, not on a

sandy, rocky hill at 52 degrees North.

 

Growing organic food is the passion of my life,

but it is NOT easy. It takes a lot of work to

create garden soil here.

I recently spent two days making a new garlic

bed, and removed 4, or was it 5, 5-gallon

pails full of bracken root and another 4 of

rocks.

See the pictures here:

http://tinyurl.com/4236mk

 

If you cannot afford all organic food,

find out which foods are most important

to eat organic.

I had some things totally wrong.

 

 

From Dr. Mercola's website, here is the

list of foods that are more or less OK if

grown conventionally, and the ones that

really should be organic.

 

OK not organic:

Broccoli

Eggplant

Cabbage

Banana

Kiwi

Asparagus

Sweet peas (frozen)

Mango

Pineapple

Sweet corn (frozen)

Avocado

Onion

 

Must be organic

 

Of the 43 different fruit and vegetable categories

tested, these 12 fruits and vegetables had the highest

pesticide load, making them the most important to buy

or grow organic:

Peaches

Apples

Sweet bell peppers

Celery

Nectarines

Strawberries

Cherries

Lettuce

Grapes (imported)

Pears

Spinach

Potatoes

 

Shop carefully, and if all you have money

for at the end of the month is Kraft Dinner,

bless it in gratitude and chew it well.

Dear Lori,

You guys rock. You've done amazing things for your land and the planet.

Keep up the good work. It really pays off doesn't it? You have done so

well , you're farther along than myself.

Consider rewriting my "Edible Yards" article and posting it to all your

friends. You and your husband have so much to offer mother earth and

should have your perfect piece of land out in the country where you

guys can go truly crazy with Organic gardening. What you said about

hybrids is true. I should have remembered that when writing the

article. I have such a hard time reaching people sometimes that I can

get carried away with an idea and not put all the data. Please tell

everybody how you're living the good life and endeavor to get them to

do the same. You're awesome!!! Feel free to write me any time. :-)

 

Best of heath to you both

 

~Bryan
