RE: Survival Food Series #8 : Eat the Weed(s), Flowers and Roots! What You Can Eat From Your Own Backyard!
Thank you so much, I am new and need all of the help with steeemit I can get. We live in Florida, U.S and am soon to be an expat to Ecuador. Ours we actually planted from corm from grocery store so not sure of answer to some of your questions. We planted it as a specimen and it did great. We do have many varieties of what most people here would consider "elephant ears". Our idea was to plant things that in a crisis others would overlook. we have 2 acres at our home and 20 a few miles away with cattle. You made my day by giving me another way to post and by reading this one! I have so much information in my brain to write about, just not enough time yet to get it out there. My husband and I have an organic cooperative as well I will be posting about. We have been homesteading for probably 14 years. Many stories to draw from....Thank you so much!
Love and Peace,
Melissa
Now that is very interesting! You planted it because you thought in a crisis other people would overlook it?? Ha! And also you got it from the grocery store? Is it common to find it for sale or was it a sort of specialty ethnic shop with lots of weird stuff that no-one knows what it is? (errrr, sorry to people who run ethnic food stores but that's kinda how it is!)
Pretty cool that you are heading to Ecuador! I'm sure it'll be amazing. I look forward to hearing more about all of your experience with homesteading and alternative food networks.
Steem on - peace out
PS: re steemit, just post about things you enjoy - or read posts that are interesting and leaves comments and start chats (I mostly do this last cos I don't have much time at the moment for writing blogs). Well that's what I think anyway.
