I think it’s really cool that these plants don’t even look like food. Say you’re in a survival situation, nobody would come and take your food. People know what tomatoes look like, these things I would have no idea that it wasn’t just a normal tree.
My thoughts exactly...said the same thing to my husband after watching this vid 5×...Gov always threatening us.. Their not smart enough to know that's food
@@melindalancaster9648 hard to tell about our government. I wouldn’t be surprised if they found a way to declare some of them invasive species and demand their destruction. 😒
You people dont know. Those are usually Asian food. And they are food to us. Look at the benefits of moringa leaves. You guyz might think twice coz they are super healthy than your food that not so healthy
Can you believe we have a 'tropical' state in America!!?? !! We have dozens of papaya right now and the trees/vines/bushes have been dripping with bananas, mangos, passion fruit, dragon fruit and peanut butter fruit. I've been making my own greens powder from katuk, sissoo, sweet potato leaves, hibiscus leaves and moringa. Katuk is my FAVORITE! I also fell in love with the Jamaican strawberry tree this year (cotton candy berries??!!) and use the leaves as a base for tea with cranberry hibiscus and bidens - so delicious and medicinal. Florida is a mystical and magical land full of plants that love to connect with us ;)
Florida wishes we could become a sovereign nation, too, and detach from this crazy country. Maybe our state will physically detach and we can float away from it. 🤣🍍🥭🥥🌺🌴
Problem is the soil or lack of it. I had a garden while growing up in Kentucky and we never had soil issues. Here in the area Pete lives, same as me, it's sand. I had to add good soil to a lot of my garden. Compost has been hard to get down for me but I'm trying. One cool thing is growing avacado trees. They grow so well here.
I’m happy to see moringa getting attention in the Western world! It’s a very common green used in Filipino cuisine. We call it malunggay, and use it a lot like spinach. If you’re curious about different ways to cook the fresh leaves, look up “malunggay” recipes.
this video literally changed my life. i’m soo thankful for you and Robs relationship. I don’t know if I ever would have found him if not for your videos. I’m in zone 9b central florida, and i started my food forest after watching you document his journey of self sustainability. I also bought every single plant you listed in this video😂. I really can’t thank you enough!!!
One of the wonders of Moringa is that the tender young seed pods make a great vegetable. We discovered them decades ago in an Indian grocery store where they were called " drumsticks". We grow the moringa and love having our own "drumsticks " fresh from the yard.
I am new to Florida, and my neighbor saw me growing mahogany splendor hibiscus and she said it's edible. I was growing it for the foliage for my bouquet. I am glad I saw this. Thank you.
Happy to have 6 out of 10, our moringa trees have plenty of beautiful branches full of delicious leaves. I also have 6 huge avocado trees 🌳 plus other fruit trees and veggies 🥕🥗 🥦 the feeling of going outside to your backyard and harvest your breakfast, lunch and dinner it’s amazing.
Discovering this channel was a surprise for me. Coming from Indonesia, a country with only two seasons, summer and rainy, I recognize most of the mentioned plants. What astonishes me is how well these plants thrive in your region. Truly amazing!
Very nice video! I'm from Bangalore, India, where we have very similar temperatures to Miami, Florida. (Hovering between 60F to 90c most of the year) I highly recommend growing Roselle (Gongura leaves in India) used for everything from fresh dips to spicy curries & Pigeon Peas (25% protein!). I grow them hydroponically in 55ltr containers, they grow in almost any type of soil with no care. Also grow lots of herbs and spices to augment health and to prevent deficiencies, most of them will grow really well in Florida weather. Pigeon peas and Roselle leaves cooked together along with some garlic, ginger, turmeric & black pepper tastes absolutely amazing.
@@Feroal2 down South we need to grow Muscadine grape varieties. Isos nursery/farm is a reliable source for the plants, Ive heard. Will be growing them soon myself in SE FL. Plant on doing cattle panel arbors for them. But along a chain link fence works if you have it.
Hello from Idaho…my wife is from China and she has grown sweet potatoes primarily for the greens, very delicious. Incidentally, we are moving to Cap Coral in September (2021) so this video will give us lots of gardening ideas.
Get gandules, it’s a type of beans you eat fresh or dry. Grow amazingly in Florida, and you an preserve it in different ways. No less important that has 11 gm of protein per cup, and they are buches who are very prolific. Good luck 🍀.
Just be sure to get your soil tested before you try to grow anything edible. Some Florida soils are no more nutritious than the beach sand it originated as.
I'm so glad you did the yuca (casava) I've grown it in my yard in Miami, FL. It is great with "mojo". I'm planning on turning my front yard into a veggie garden.
I've been in West Central Florida ( Holiday) for 32yrs..we have never had luck in growing veggies.. can grow ornamentals all day long.. you've given me a boost to try again!! Thanks 😊
I’m in central Florida. I tried to grow a garden last year, the heat and scorching sun killed everything! My pineapples and banana trees are thriving though. Rosemary is my only herb 🌿 the heat didn’t kill.
We own 7 of those 10, so stoked! Edible spinach is also known as Abika if anyone is curious. Had a lovely salad tonight with perpetual spinach, Okinawa spinach, moringa, and Abika.
A great one is blue butterfly pea tea..its viney. All parts of the plant is edible ..flowers lovely ..and delicious. It is anti inflammatory..and has many many other health benefits..it makes a cold or hot tea that changes color with added citrus. Other plants we have that have lasted with almost no care black Florida pistachios..mulberry tree.. ❤
Super informative. I'm a florida native and struggle to garden in the summer. I've only tried moringa out of all these. Will definitely incorporate these into my yard. Thank you!
In South Florida in summer I grow pigeon peas, payapa, cow peas (any type of cow pea does well including black eye peas), I grow a lot of okra, amaranth (callahoo) and also all the things he says in the video. We eat Chaya a lot because it’s so very healthy for us. Everglades tomatoes grow in summer too ( shade seems best)… I am excited it’ll Soon be fall here where we can really get to gardening! :)
Excited about moving to central Florida west coast. It's mid-April here in Colorado and a snow storm just wrecked my fruit trees again -- year after year. Gonna dig my Chicago Hardy fig bushes up and take them with so they can live happily ever after as trees in Florida.
@@bradjohnston8687 I dug 'em up and brought 'em down here to Port Charlotte. Whoever bought our house in Colorado probably wasn't going to want to do all the winterizing I had to do to protect the figs from 15 below zero temps.
My great grandmother talked about the great depression, the main point i took from her many stories was they're wasn't any animals or fish after a year or so , people ate what they grew , she told us that when foods were not available that they would go to the town dump to get leather to boil as a tea, this video is showing us how to grow our own food in case of disaster
I think you could add an 11th plant, and that would be Passion Fruit they are fabulous source of nutrition great for treating people with anxiety and heart issues. They are a vine. But no maintenance required.
What a great episode! Just a few gentle reminders : green papayas are good to eat in a salad etc - BUT ladies trying to get pregnant or pregnant ladies should eat only small amounts or avoid as it can lead miscarriage. If the papaya is ripe - eat in moderation as overconsumption can give a person diarrhea.Over consumption of moringa leaves is not good for people who suffer from high blood pressure. Food is medicine - but the flip side is that some herbs & vegetable & fruits can negative side effects if overconsumed or a person has some pre-existing health conditions. In south east asia where im from most of this knowledge is fading - i was lucky to have a grandmother who taught me some of this folk "medicine".
Agree. I’m a Florida native and I lived in Thailand for a couple of years. Their climate is very similar. The average lay person is much more educated about food and their environment than the average American. I learned a lot while I was there. America would be wise to learn from her elders (older nations), but like a teenager, she thinks she knows everything.
My grandma used to tell me young women in Vietnam would intentionally eat alot of unripened papayas in attempt abort their pregnancies, it was fairly effective they say.
Im trying sweet potatoes this year in Ontario I decided to try because you guys told me i can eat the leaves too :) I put a few in pots so next summer i already have slips :)
Yes, you can eat the leaves. And it's delicious to stir fry and quick steam as asian salad. And they are really fast growing, literally I can harvest them twice a week.
I have all except Miami Spinach and Edible Hibiscus and I'm not sure if what I have is yucca or taro as I haven't learned to use it yet. Green papaya is fabulous green, maybe even better than ripe. Female papayas, bananas, and katuk live in a colony together and a little ways away is a male papaya (that produced a fruit this year!) near my moringa in dappled sun. I've got Chaya as part of a privacy border as well as inside the yarden for eating and I've never seen a flower. Okinawan is doing well here, Longevity disappeared a while ago. I'm in north central Florida. Thanks!
Pete is a walking encyclopedia! I could watch him all day...but then I wouldn't get any plants in the ground. I guess I need some edible hibiscus, that is the only thing I'm not growing here in 10a. Rob, I have learned so much from you also, both of your channels are at the top of my favorite youtube channel list!
Great information, Pete’s the man! Been following him for a year or so, and now I’ve found someone else to follow! I’m in Palmetto, manatee county, just south of Tampa. Happy gardening, keep up the good work homie!;)
Where did you bought the moringa plant from? Can you help me. I have been looking everywhere no one seems to help me. 74yrs old we can cook like spinach with little oil mustard little turmeric powder little red pepper powder small onion lots of garlic ginger satay all together it’s delicious don’t over cook.. you will love it hope to hear from you 🙏😊
Thank you for this! I made the mistake last year of following gardening advice from non tropical regions, which is most of the US. What a mistake. I’m doing things different this year. Watching lots of Florida gardening channels and trying to plant heat resistant crops. I need to embrace the tropics whether I like it or not, otherwise I’m never going to yield a harvest. I’m on the Space Coast 🚀
@@Rompelstaump Over the summer I got a lot of tropical fruit trees started. Bananas, mango, papaya, moringa, fig, etc. For vegetables, okra was my best crop this summer. I had so much of it. It tolerates the heat like a champ! Lots of peppers. Eggplants, scallions, basil, cranberry hibiscus, roselle, buzz buttons, rosemary and a few other herbs. It wasn’t a lot, but it’s a start. For fall I’m doing tomatoes, bell peppers, hot peppers, squash, amaranth, perilla, celery, basil, nasturtiums, sunflowers and a bunch of edible flowers. I just ordered seeds for seminole pumpkins, I may start those, too, even though it’s kind of late for starting them. The subtropics aren’t so bad after all. 😉
Ive been in SW Florida almost 9 years now, wish I learned these yrs ago. Coming from PA extremely fertile soil area, found extremely difficult growing here. Between the aunts, sand, weeds,, NOT a fan of pesticide. Lost lots, start over lots. Work in progress. Oh and the time switch of growing things 😊 labor of love
Thank you for putting this out for us Floridians hearing up in a couple month to have my house with plenty of backyard space to grow some of these wonderful plants !
the Moringa here in the Philippines is called Malunggay...it also grows huge pods that are delicious...super easy to grow..break off a limb..stick it in the ground and it takes off..really great in soups ...i love it in scrambled eggs
The glutinous non starchy cassava is my favorite It tastes like a not too sweet banana ripened but boiled OmG 😆 only had it in south India Can’t find it any grocery store in Midwest or anywhere in USA Spinach looks like Malabar spinach Omg I would grow everything God made You are so lucky 🍀 dude !!!!!!!
I love your knowledge and input, you always have such epic videos. We live in Australia near Brisbane and it works very similar here, even where we are is more drought like...I never water sweet potatoe, cassava, okinawa, hibiscus etc. and they keep growing. Moringa seems to like a good amount of water at the beginning, first few weeks and then it also just keeps on growing. Chaya and katuk is what I like to try this year. I have done research on all the perennials they grow in Africa and other countries to always have food even with little water and clay soil. Cassava has been epic helper to break open the soil and improve the quality, so sweet potatoe. ECHO has a great video on all these perennials as well, that's how I found Katuk and Chaya in the first place. Another Australian gardener said winter melone (wax gourd) is an awesome easy grown vegetable too, instead of zucchini. Pigeon pea grows super easy here too and survives even when we had the drought. Tannier, Aibika, Haitian basked vine, Malabar spinach and yams (greater yam, winged yam, cocoyam) I like to try too this Spring.
I am a newbie at growing in Florida and this was definitely a great learning lesson! Thanks a bunch! I just panted Rossell Hibiscus but I want to try the veggie ones too!
Pete has it growin' on ! The ONLY one of those I Haven't tried over the years is #3. There are a few others, of course. I currently am not growing Chaya here in Metro Phx...I actually got some cuttings from Pete several years ago !
Which of the ten can be grown in containers? I live in a private community and can only plant under my lanai. Thanks for sharing happy healthy growing 🪴🌿🍃🥗

The glutinous non starchy cassava is my favorite
It tastes like a not too sweet banana ripened but boiled
OmG 😆 only had it in south India
Can’t find it any grocery store in Midwest or anywhere in USA
Spinach looks like Malabar spinach
Omg I would grow everything God made
You are so lucky 🍀 dude !!!!!!!
I love your knowledge and input, you always have such epic videos.
We live in Australia near Brisbane and it works very similar here, even where we are is more drought like...I never water sweet potatoe, cassava, okinawa, hibiscus etc. and they keep growing. Moringa seems to like a good amount of water at the beginning, first few weeks and then it also just keeps on growing.
Chaya and katuk is what I like to try this year. I have done research on all the perennials they grow in Africa and other countries to always have food even with little water and clay soil. Cassava has been epic helper to break open the soil and improve the quality, so sweet potatoe.
ECHO has a great video on all these perennials as well, that's how I found Katuk and Chaya in the first place.
Another Australian gardener said winter melone (wax gourd) is an awesome easy grown vegetable too, instead of zucchini.
Pigeon pea grows super easy here too and survives even when we had the drought.
Tannier, Aibika, Haitian basked vine, Malabar spinach and yams (greater yam, winged yam, cocoyam) I like to try too this Spring.
Enjoyed your video, new subs, learned a lot of veggies, thank you❤🙏
I’m growing 4 of these already
Yes to moringa! :)
Congratulations on elaborate farming.
