Lovely video. I'm working towards installing a food forest now in Florida, USA. Would you be able to tell me the botanical name of the shrub that you call Harmony. The pink flowers are used in the smoothie bowls. Many thanks.

[@tcanderson1313]

I am interested in starting a food forest in Florida as well. Where are you located? What plants are you growing?

[@vasudevram]

Great video, Sara and Krishna, thanks much for the great info. Only one small issue - the audio was not clear at times, probably due to mics being a bit away from either of you at times. Maybe use 2 mics?

[@KrishnaMckenzie]

good idea, we are looking into it, thanks for the feedback

[@maltishah1189]

Krishna, this is an awesome idea to share the details of the farms. Keep doing this good work. I wish to come and visit you and your Solitude after the lockdown period. I too wish to start permaculture and grow a food forest 😀Regards, nilma

[@farmtotablebangalore7861]

passion fruit leaves are edible and delicious too.i use it in stir fries ans chutneys all the time, .try it

[@KrishnaMckenzie]

I do in this video. Wild passion fruit leaves. Amazing!

[@BamBhole1]

Beyond!!! 👌 Everything looks magnificent. It was originally the quality of food at Solitude which drew me back. Even to this day, I have not forgotten the effect of the food it had on my mind and body and frankly have not found anywhere. Great to see Sara and her place. Some of the plants grow here in South Rajasthan also namely some wild, others cultivated, Shankpushpi, pipli, morenga, giloy, sweetpotatoes, curry leaves, papaya, bananas. The papya paper as a sushi roll is unheard of, so is the semi-ripened papaya juice with ginger root. I do wonder if chicken spinich and the first few herbs yous picked up for the smoothie are native to Tamilnadu only? I bet the Queen won't be having all this too. 😀 Cheers Krishna, Shakti and Sara. 🙏

[@revathysridhar8786]

Thank you. Where is this place to visit with children

[@NurPutihAminah]

Hi from Malaysia. These same plants you're showing are local plants here too! In rural villages here you can still find gardens like this one but they are rapidly dissapearing due to urbanisation. Do you know that chicken spinach that grows from seeds forms roots similar in shape and medicinal value as ginseng? Chicken spinach is called Ginseng Jawa (javanese ginseng) around here. I was told the leaves shouldn't be eaten raw in large quantities because it's high in oxalic acid. We usually stir fry the leaves. Tapioca leaves is commonly eaten as vegetable here, cooked in coconut milk with some ginger and turmeric or blanched in hot water, dipped in sambal. Try it it's delicious! Thank you so much for your videos, i'm learning alot from them.

[@KrishnaMckenzie]

great tips will try the tapioca leaf!!! :) thankyou

[@punjihermit]

Great...I would like to try some wild spinach verities here, some I already found... generally monkeys don't eat them😃

15:30 Tapioca leaves, not edible or not suggested to use as green salad. This contains hydrocyanic acid (Hydrogen cyanide which is water soluble). Even for cattles it is suggested to partially dry to evaporate toxin.

it is cooked though, common in indonesia and cambodia even madagasca. definitely not raw as you say. :)

Wow, what an amazing garden! Where is this? Sadly, I'm in the temperate region of the US, and much of this isn't possible. Do you know of any resources for creating a food forest like this in such a climate? I will have to check out your other videos-both of you! What a cool, cool garden! Good luck in your continued efforts to make the world a better, more sustainable place :)
