Rearranging the #patiogarden for our fall/winter plantings. #Sweet potatoes, #garlic #tomatoes and more... Yes in S. Florida, our winter is kind of like spring up north. Except we lose a lot of sunlight. Many vegies can't be grown in summer due to heat and rain. ✌️ 💚 😁 #cjstarz#cjstarzSustainableGarden #citygarden #urbangarden #herbs #herbalhealth #patiogarden #butterfly (at Jupiter, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo9nmzsFzPA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cd8e3y9rxw74

Beccas purple sweet potatoes, they are soo close to harvest. Yes they have been taken over by Pasture grass, we get here once a month and this was a test of our soil. Looking good but we do have some nutrient issues that need ro be addressed.. Here comes worm, chicken, and cow poo.. Along with some beefy bone meal. Ground coral dust,...

Red button or French Kiss 😘 Ginger. Costus WOODSONII Easy to grow loves sun with a little shade and light watering. The #edibleflowers, the red and yellow pistols coming out of the red cone are the only edible part of the plant. Seems these little "buds" are nutritious and they taste like a slightly sour green grape. Seriously they taste like grapes 🍇 😁 Also, I have 2 sugar gliders and they love them and fight over them.. Yummy.. Add to a fruit salad or garden salad for color and flavor. I just pick them off the flower and eat them.. Who knew 😀 #organicgardening #gardening #naturelovers #garden #wildfood #naturalfood #organic #citygarden #urbangarden #herbs #herbalhealth #patiogarden #butterfly #butterflys #chrysalis #nature#organicgardening #monarchbutterfly #ginger #redbuttonginger (at Jupiter, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmlcVp2lXHG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=22purz3mr0xg

Sweet Aztec.. Yes, it was used by the Aztec nation in foods and medicine. Wow a sugar substitute.. Kinda.. Add to your tea as a sugar substitute, but use sparingly. The plant leaves contain Camphor, and in large doses can make you sick In Mexican folk medicine it has been used in cough syrups for bronchitis and asthma, and as an expectorant. You can even eat the little "Dulce Buttons" (the 👂 of corn 🌽 looking flowers 💐) which also taste sweet. Similar to Stevia without the aftertaste.. #herbs #herbalhealth #citygarden #urbangarden #patiogarden #healingherbs #tea #stevia #sugarsubstitute #naturalhealing #naturalfood #aztec #sweetaztec (at Jupiter, Florida)

Pentas Lanceolata A beautiful #pollinator attractor!! Used in African herbal medicine as #painreliever, #Anti-inflammatory, #snakebites remedy, and as tea for general health. Bright 🔆 flower 🌸 clusters that are irresistible to #butterflys, #bees, #hummingbirds Easy to grow and can reach 6' in the ground. Great for containers. They need ☀ sunshine, heat and water, most soils will work. Maybe a slow release (worm castings, bone meal, sea kelp, bat guano etc.) once a year. Tempatures over 65 is best. #butterflygarden #butterfly_n_flower #butterflys#chrysalis #organicgardening #gardening #naturelovers #garden #wildfood #naturalfood#organic #flowers #citygarden #urbangarden #urbanorganicgardener #patiogarden #homegarden #herbs #healingherbs (at Jupiter, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bl_TTmvlIBn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16maaz6lxcl1b
