Food Wetland Garden Fish Pond Growing Edible Plants Self Sustaining
Building a Food Wetland in my Garden. In this video I look back to see the 6 month seasonal change in my pond, as I create many more ponds which I call them my “Food Wetland”.
The not so tasty dropwort you called it is actually mugwort. We Asians use mugwort for medicine and not for normal eating. It's not water celery. Mugwort doesn't like to be water. They like full sun. I know a little about it because my mom has them in her garden. When we do eat them, my mom gets the young tips of the plant and boil them in water then soak in cold water. Repeat a couple of times. Blend them and add to the flour to make green dumplings (a dessert filled w/sesame brown sugar). Be careful with this plant.
Great video, you always teach me something I didn't know. You are getting better at vlogging and the pond was inspired and a suprise when I seen the tiny fish. Much love and respect, blessings 🐟🐟🐝🦗🦋🌻
I love those underwater shots! Please share more about edible pond plants and how to safely, cleanly grow them, I'm getting interested in duckweed because of its nutritional value.

Yes. Sweet potato leaves are edible. Tasty.
Cattail roots are edible especially good roasted or roasted dried & ground into flour.
100 thumbs up 👍🏾
