Plant of the Day

Wednesday 5 October 2022

At the base of this wall the clump-forming, evergreen perennial Corydalis lutea (yellow corydalis) is thriving in the shaded location. The pale green leaves form mounds of fern-like foliage with bright yellow flowers.

A year after our first planting of these beautiful edible flowers, the nasturtiums kept on recording to the point that it developed this lovely light yellow flower. The most beautiful snacks grow from love. Thank you @mirandashafferhair for sharing and helping us plant these! ・・・ #growninhaiti #nasturtiums #selfseeding #haiti #ayiti #abundance #goingwild #organic #nogmos #nopesticides #noherbicides #agroforestry #foodforest #variety #edible #flowers #flowerpower https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ArBLwl0Aw/?igshid=141foe8gc3psp

Along with the recent rain came up a bunch of hash and water melons all over the yard! I swear I didn’t plant any. At least for 2 years. Regardless where they came from, nature is telling me that I need more of these delicious foods in my life and I will happily listen. It’s funny how little I expected when I first started planting and to now see everything taking charge and taking care of me when I expected to be taking care of them. Seriously, life has only been getting easier. I was actually complaining the other day that I no longer have heavy work to do. I guess it’s time to start a new forest from scratch yet again. ・・・ #growninhaiti #selfseeding #squash #watermelon #growth #foodforest #selfsustaining #staymotivated #fruitsofyourlabor #autosufficient #rewards #softlabor #haiti #ayiti #agroforestry #edibles #vine https://www.instagram.com/p/B8y643Hl-Ah/?igshid=pj8a9s1jt3gk

Another season of cranberry hibiscus sprouting throughout the food forest. Can’t wait to make more syrup with it. Made cocktails for my neighbors last year and it was a major hit! DescriptionHibiscus acetosella, the cranberry hibiscus or African rosemallow, is a flowering plant of the genus Hibiscus or rosemallow. The word acetosella is of Latin origin and is derived from an old name for sorrel which comes from the sour taste experienced when eating the young leaves of the plant. In Angola a tea made from the leaves of cranberry hibiscus are used as a post-fever tonic and to treat anemia. The plant is also utilized to treat myalgias by crushing leaves into cold water to bathe children. The plant is thought to contain polyphenols, a compound that may combat inflammation and is commonly used to treat inflammatory diseases. ・・・ #growninhaiti #cranberryhibiscus #HibiscusAcetosella #medicinal #edible #foodforest #selfseeding #growth #agroforestry #nogmos #organic #openpollinated #nopesticides #herbicides #leaves #wet #rain #haiti #ayiti #garden https://www.instagram.com/p/ByR-n3zF_B8/?igshid=1022pmxcvqe9c

I find it quite funny how I’ve never trellised anything I’ve purposely planted but I happily protect those growing wild 😅 ・・・ #growninhaiti #tomatoes #selfseeding #haiti #ayiti #wild #nogmos #nopesticides #noheebicides #foodforest #agroforestry #foraging #growth #organic #abundance #balance https://www.instagram.com/p/CA47IJJlJTJ/?igshid=qxzq2nd1zlqd

Top 10 Self-Seeding “Annuals” That Come Back Each Year

Everyone loves annuals because they’re flashy and they fill in flower bed space, giving you color and visual interest all summer. But wouldn’t it be great if you could get those advantages along with a plant that comes back year after year? You can if you select annuals that re-seed themselves. Here are the top 10 self-seeding annual plants:

Love coming home and seeing how the garden has changed. What has grown and what is seeding, closing its cycle. The coriander is seeding wildly. Love that it self seeds making my gardening a little easier #coriander #selfseeding #urbanpermaculture #kitchengarden #permacultura #upcycling #rustic #bees (at Mullumbimby) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnzXzy5n8wa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7787es5e2tux
