I didn't know you could eat the flowers of chives. I just clipped them. Now I will eat them too.
need CC name the plants😍
A very informative article, but she repeat her advice between each plant description.
and is very tire to listen the same things over and over
So sorry but your images of "globe artichoke" are actually Roselle Hibiscus.
I've got a 10 year old female asparagus which grows to 8 feet tall, dumps loads of seed right into my compost heap and puts out stalks 1 1/2 inches in diameter. I harvest it at 20-24 inches. A serving per stalk, and weeding where I've fertilized with compost gives me dozens of new crowns. I'll happily keep female asparagus in my garden
Where do I get the cuttings or seeds
I couldn't listen to her say "subscribe" one more time. On to the next video.. but well done video.
Loved your video, I would plant tree collards, garlic chives, and wild leeks
Please don't show an asparagus fern when you're teaching about asparagus.
I like the walking onion
Jamaican Sorrel aka Hibiscus NOT GLOBE ARTICHOKE. Please review your video and make the necessary corrective adjustment. Please and Thank You. Beautiful Sorrell/Hibiscus.
Could you please do a video on growing food for a low fiber diet? Many of us would love to be able to grow the foods we can actually eat. Many other dietary issues could be addressed as well…..
Great information but good grief, how many times are you gonna beg for folks to subscribe in one video??? Very annoying.
Thank you ❤
Asparagus,
Way too many asks for people to subscribe. Did you think we would forget the name if it wasn't repeated over and over and over and over in the video?
One vegetable you didn't mention is sweet potato leaves.
AI voice doesn't match the pics it's talking about.
Starts at 4.20
are you THAT desperate to beg for people to "subscribe", THREE times before the first vegetable? I left after the third. I don't subscribe to beggars. If I were to guess, there was probably at least 20 more.
Garlic chives, tree collars and one or two of the kales. The vine spinach … Thank you so much for this video. I cant make up my mind. I am in SoCAlifornia Lucky I can try almost all of them❤😂
Thank you for the reminders and prompts, but number 6 is not globe artichoke. I'not sure what the red buds and open pink flowers you showed instead are, but I think it is edible as a flower bud and is beautiful. Many thanks
Please quit saying subscribe with every plant! It's very annoying!
That was NOT globe artichoke being shown during the AI voice description. That was a type of hibiscus called Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa). Not even in the same plant family.
9 star broccoli. Enjoyed the info., but not the sterile AI assistance.
Those ARE NOT GLOBE ARTICHOKES!! FALSE ADVERTISEMENT! 🤬
Jerusalem artichoke – sunchoke INVASIVE. get rid of it.
What plants would you recommend for someone that has some mobility issues? If there's alot of digging, it's not going to happen. How hard is it to start tree collards? What kind of soil is best, etc? I've wanted to start a garden for years, but I have mobility issues. I've been thinking about starting carrots in a container garden. I was told that they're something I should be able to do. Any helpful hints? I really need help with this. Food is just too expensive now.
Keep the good work
Asparagus has so many benefits. I have it in my backyard. And it has been a blessing.
Quit telling people to subscribe after EVERY suggestion. It is just insulting – as if the viewer is too damned stupid to figure out something after three times.
love it
