Greens You Can Grow & Eat Through the Heat with Pat Battle

This video is very well adapted to a classroom setting rather than purely educational like Curtis Stone or John Kohler(sp?). Admittedly, this isn't the most fun thing to watch, but I'll learn more here than anywhere else.

I have both Okinawa spinach and longevity spinach growing. The longevity spinach is extremely vigorous and has covered all of one shaded corner of my garden. The Okinawa is alot less vigorous but I like it alot better. Both have a light lemony flavor but the longevity spinach has very rigid leaves which seem to suck up liquid when cooked and slick together in an big slimy mat. It is the most slimy of any "spinach" I have tried. Worse than malabar spinach. I much prefer the Okinawa even though it doesn't grow as crazy.

I'm so grateful for all of these videos! By the way, the botanical name of the wonderful "Chinese Toon" tree is "Toona sinensis". It's in the mahogany family. Leaves taste like onion.

I agree with @JohnnyMcska! This video would work well for a classroom, or in my case, a cozy Friday night at home with a cup of tea. Is it just me, or have the videos significantly improved? I can't put my finger on it, but I'm impressed!

Groundhogs are wild edibles, too, aren't they? :-) A good dog will eliminate them, too. Livestock guardian dogs can successfully remove and/or convince groundhogs to leave the pastures or farm areas they patrol, and a number of other breeds and mixes will do a good job, too. Groundhogs are just one reason that every farm and homestead used to have at least one good dog.

Ice plant grows like a weed here in SC - as easy to spread and multiply as purslane (which it looks just like) or spurge. But it blooms SO beautifully, only in the morning. Cheers!

Just as 'vitamin A' in plants is not the same s Vit A from animal-source foods, (plants actually contain vitamin A precursors), the Omega 3s in plants are NOT the same as Omega 3s in animal-source foods, like oily fish, grassfed milk, and 100% grassfed & grass finished meats. Our digestive systems are just not as good at using the nutrient in plants as the true herbivores.

Still better the greens then any animal products, but nothing beat the fruit in any form for the human system.
