Edible Vines for a Tropical Food Forest

[@hgdon-homeiswheretreesare-9239]

All right, love Hawaii and your videos 😊

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Glad you like them!

[@sdehues]

I love your tropic centric gardening advice. I settled in the Philippines and your knowledge translates great.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Mahalo! I'm glad you found me then.

[@yennguyen-uj3ri]

One of my favorite vegetable is chayote leaves. The leaves are so delicious.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Great tip! I didn't realize you could eat them.

[@ainabearfarm8075]

Great stuff! Loofah is another one that grows well for us here. 🤙

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

There are so many vines to mention, that's what I love about plants. I was going to do loofah but when do you say enough is enough 🤣

[@fruitfullivingcostarica]

Nice! Some other tropical vines we like to grow is Sancha Inchi nut, loofa, and macuna.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

I know loofa, but Iʻd love to try the others. Only problem is thereʻs only so much trellis space to go around

[@dankslug]

Best content I've seen in ages!

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Mahalo!

[@teamcautiouslyextreme8072]

Nice. Can't wait for the bamboo tree house.

[@homesteadfarms5315]

Also sacha inchi (spelling) and cassabanana are good vines here. Cant wait for that bamboo construction vid🤙

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Thanks for that. I'm going to check those out.

[@geriannroth449]

Nice selection

[@gossipwithkashifjamshaidawan]

Thanks for this amazing sharing ☺️😊

[@LostInThisGardenofLife]

Yay a new favorite gardening channel 😍

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Mahalo. Hope I can continue to deliver

[@postupmedia]

You should try cassabanana, sacha inchi and black pepper vines

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Nice additions. Mahalo

[@reefshadow1]

I'm super stoked that you can grow ipu in East Hawaii. I was worried it was too wet. I make lamps on the mainland with gourds and they're spendy.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

I had ipu's growing really well for a while. I hope to get another crop of them real soon. You don't make the drum out of them do you?

[@reefshadow1]

@@HomesteadinHawaii Naw I make bowls but mostly lamps. My Etsy is shinrincreations. Hit me up if you want some details on how they're done. I hope to keep this a little side hustle once we get on island. I certainly won't quit my day job with it.

[@michaelmarsh8397]

Thank you great info .

[@placefor16]

Great educational video! Thank you for sharing.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Mahalo for watching

[@thisoldditty]

awesome as usual, thank you

[@donnamay5700]

Really like your aloha spirit. But could you please add one about elevation and what you can go? You show all this neat stuff on your place but what elevation are you. If you go up country what happens?? We would like to know. I'm living vicariously thru your videos till someday I get to come back to live. Gotta hurry I'm already 61 haha

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Sounds like a great video idea

[@bohopkins6916]

you teach some cool things

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Mahalo

[@kaimana7047]

Looking for purple sweet potatoes got some giving them away positive vibes Hawaiian lifestyle

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

You have purple sweet potato to give? Are you in puna?

[@kaimana7047]

I live in waianae.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

@@kaimana7047 Thanks anyway, Iʻll find some local to me.

[@TerrapinStation]

I live in south west Florida and grow a lot of passion fruit. How do you keep the fruit rats away? It’s a constant battle down here, especially with all the bananas I have growing. Tho they tend to like the really like the main flower for some reason.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

The rats hit my avocados but not what you mentioned. Constant trapping around here though.

[@taumanifesto7065]

We are coming to work our property in Nanawale in two weeks. Can you recommend a land clearing service? I thought you might have in a past video just can't remember which video. Much Mahalo

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Try reaching out to excavation tech. Good luck on your project.

[@elenavalta4955]

Hey there! 🙌🏼 I really love your videos and your blog! I want to live in Hawai‘i one day and have my own little off grid farm 🤗 I wanted to ask if you could make a video about legal and illegal livestock in Hawaii? 🙏🏼 Maybe about the laws to consider and all that stuff? 🙈 That would be so helpful and great! 😇

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Sure. I'll look into it. And thanks for watching!

[@bohopkins6916]

I have a question, not sure if you can answer....can most of what you talk about grow in a year?

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Vines are pretty quick growers. A year, 2 at most.

[@Don-ql2xs]

Tree house with vines

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

That sounds fun

[@hanaluong2672]

Is "ipu" opo? If it is opo, it is edible when the fruits are young and green.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

I'll have to try it, thanks!

[@hanaluong2672]

@@HomesteadinHawaii oh, you would have to cook it slightly, like you cook squash, but much less cooking.

[@PimpolloMorales]

9??? I woulda been happy with 3, and u just gave me all this wealth of knowledge 🤯🤯 can you tell me about this lilikoi butter? Here in Puerto Rico the fruit is called Parcha 🙂

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Ha! 9 is ambitious yeah? Lilikoi butter is just the lilikoi juice mixed with butter (a lot) and sugar

[@caseyp5665]

Is this guy totally stoned or is "the sun in his eyes"? Loved the tour either way 🤟💚

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

People used to say that about me before I ever had my first smoke of the ganja. Just years in the sun I guess. 😑😁

[@lukepotosky7710]

Do you know David The Good by chance?

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Yeah. I watch his videos from time to time

[@PRDreams]

Since you are growing grapes, maybe you can answer my question: Are all grape leaves varieties edible? Aloha!

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Yes. Pick the young ones and make sure they haven't been sprayed

[@snakeplisken7323]

I like thorned vines on top of my fence..

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Nature's barbed wire

[@Oysters176]

You mean Bottle Gourd?

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Yeah, Ipu, Bottle Gourd, same thing

[@Oysters176]

@@HomesteadinHawaii No English person is going to use the word 'Ipu', That's unlike any name or word in English or Latin.
