It’s a bit of paradise your garden is. You convey a kind and calm energy. It helps me regain my enthusiasm for just being in the garden and enjoying nature.

[@wendiland]

Thank you. Nature is healing. Happy to know it does that for you as well.

[@MiyamotoMusashi9]

Those plants grow a bit each time they see your smile 😁

[@1Lightdancer]

Some of my favorites as well! Purslane, Shiso, I love self heal too!

[@angelapalmer3542]

Beautiful garden. Amazing

[@PatricesProjects]

Lots of great information Wendi. I need to save this video and take some notes of some of the plants you mentioned.

[@wendiland]

Happy to share. Happy Gardening!

[@PatrickGeneLeBlancHardy]

Thanks For Sharing Beautiful Empress 👑

[@wendiland]

whooaaa thank you for being apart!

[@dsmith6868]

I stumbled upon this video hoping to find some additional options for a ground cover and got way more than I ever expected! Not only did you provide a great variety, but I love how your plants are all edibles (I also like to plant edibles)! Your garden looks amazing! Nice video!

[@margaretd3710]

WENDI, WENDI, WENDI!!!!! Child, you weren't born in the US????? My jaw is hitting the floor! You speak without any accent at all! You are amazing! -- I taught English online to fabulous Chinese students and had to work hard to get them to speak without any accent. So I would have sworn that you were born here!!! You Go, Girl!!!

[@wendiland]

Thank you Margaret! I think people that are tone sensitive may have this advantage. Although we may practice sounding like a native speaker, I also like hearing someone with an accent as it helps to tell a story about the person. Does it require more patience to teach online vs in person?

[@MarcMallary]

Purslane is my favorite salad green. I get it from corn fields. If I pull the whole plant up, I can chop off the top and replant the bottom.

[@matthewgushiken6690]

I have a leaf sucker that chops up leaves and use it in my pots.my dad always put grass trimmings under our plants.

[@Growveguk]

Ha!! I caught myself saying, 'Erbs!!' I'm from the UK!🌞 Funnily enough I was actually discussing with my fiancee that language and dialect is fast becoming merged from the uprising of the internet and the way we no longer have planetary boundaries. It's all progress 🌻❤️👍

[@wendiland]

That's really true. I love that!

[@user-lp3ew1xb5u]

Oh, hey - no wind sounds ! 👍

[@wendiland]

The mic is working well so far in cutting out some wind, but I think it can pickup strong wind. Still, it makes the experience so much more pleasant. :)

[@emilybh6255]

Purple Shiso is great ground cover and delicious to eat too with a mild minty/licorice/earthy flavor. There are wonderful recipes for pickled Shiso leaves that are a great topping for pieces of Sushi. I planted one plant in a self watering container last summer and this spring it came back on its own but spread all over the corner of the patio. So there is always plenty to eat and this year the leaves are twice as big. They'd be a great alternative for grape leaves if you want to make bite size wraps.

[@wendiland]

It's more tender than grape leaves too! Wish I had a large area with this as ground cover. Haha Enjoy yours!

[@1Lightdancer]

I love mine- have both red and green Shiso, and I've been placing a palm sized leaf on gluten free pancake batter, then cover with more batter, for grief/pancakes! (Other leaves as well, Clary sage is good! Or chard, etc)

[@emilybh6255]

@@wendiland Yes. So far I am enjoying them by marinating them and draping a single leaf over vegan sushi pieces. I eat them raw with a Korean sauce/marinade recipe I found on-line that has soy sauce; rice vinegar; raw garlic; chili pepper and toasted sesame oil . It came from the Maancghi YT channel where stacks of marinated leaves are made by painting the sauce on one side of each leaf with a pastry brush - by first covering the bottom of the dish with the sauce and placing two leaves on top of that; painting the top leaf again with the marinade and repeating with every addition of two leaves for each stack making sure to cover the top leaf on each stack and then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Then carefully remove each leaf and drape it over whatever food you want to eat it with. I was thinking it would be good with chunks of plain cucumber too or wrapped around a piece of avocado.

[@emilybh6255]

@@1Lightdancer I've never had them cooked. How do they stand up to the heat? Almost anything made into a pancake I'm sure would taste great. Come to think of it, now that you mention it I bet they'd be great in Indian Pakoras too.

[@nokim1]

@@emilybh6255 Yes, that is exactly how I ate those perilla leaves growing up in South Korea. It’s such a yummy & healthy side dish to eat with rice. And it keeps in the fridge for a long time as well.

Ka Kay O is what we always said.

[@keithkishishita5783]

I do not see a like button, so this is how I am going to indicate like. You have got me thinking about living mulch. For me, anything but mint; mint would take over the garden.

[@wendiland]

It's the thumbs up/down buttons. Yeah no mint unless it's in a contained area. There's soo many options when it comes to growing living mulch.

[@margaretwilson8062]

I'm interested in knowing where you got your gold moss (or where I can find it). When I google it, what I see looks different, less stringy. I want to make sure I get the right kind that's edible. Thanks!

[@noir.144]

Had the same problem. I think the more common name would be stringy stonecrop (sedum sarmentosum). Wiki did say is was called gold moss too. There was another sedum that goes by that name which makes things confusing.

[@donavinnezar]

Totally just here to improvemy cannabis crop 🤣 Great info ill try purslane ive heard some gardeners like using wood sorrel too and i live in a area where yellow woodsorrel is naturally occurring I can just transplant some into the bed i plan on using Also going to be growing some other attractant plants like marigolds so i can get a healthy ladybug population

[@wendiland]

haha..wood sorrel is tasty. You got a great plan, happy gardening!

[@Anythingforfreedom]

I’m looking for an edible ground cover that’s very low-growing and inconspicuous. Something beautiful like perennial peanut is, but where the foliage is also edible… on perennial peanut, only the flowers are edible so it doesn’t make for much a meal.

Gotu Kola Its Srilankan Name... Gotu = Funnel Kola = Leaves There Are Two Types Of Gotu Kola In Here Smaller Leaf One And Lager Leaf One Small Leaf One Have Most Body And Blood Detox Benefits More Than Lager Leaf One... 🌼🌼🌼

[@emilybh6255]

Wendi- Do you ever eat the leaves raw? Evidently they are edible. I even found some salad recipes for them on-line.

[@wendiland]

Which plant?

[@emilybh6255]

Can you change sound at the start of your videos please. It sounds like a dog is being tortured. It freaks out my dogs everytime I watch your videos. Thanks.
