Seattle Permaculture Guild | Main / WhatDidYouEatFromYourHomesteadToday browse

I would like more ideas on edibles to plant in my yard, so please add to the list what you are eating from your garden today. If you can remember, please add when you planted. Also, please include even items you may have "put up" from last year, ie. canned goods, dried produce, pickled, buried, seasonings, medicines, etc....

Although I'm personalising this startup page and I'm vegetarian, feel free to add meat to this page. As I see it, in the future this intro should be edited to ask what food/medicine did you harvest off your urban homestead today.(ST)
