Just as a friendly reminder, I wanted to mention that liking, commenting, and sharing videos really do play a major role in helping content creators like myself reach a wider audience. Your engagement on KZbin can have a positive impact and contribute to the growth of the channel. But I totally get that everyone has their own preferences and comfort levels when it comes to social platform engagement. Also, here's the affiliate link to Amanda's book as I mentioned in the video and the description: amzn.to/3GslGQ4 Let's grow together! 🌿

[@MorePranaGardens]

"They're your trees ... we're now the stewards." I LOVE that thought process so much! People care and return of surplus.

[@StacksUrbanHarvest]

Yeah, that's a rare mindset!

[@user-sw1nv7qz2c]

What a spiritually enlightening woman 😊

[@StacksUrbanHarvest]

Yes, she's an amazing woman. What I didn't mention in the video is that she invited me for a food forest lunch with the family after the tour, and it was an unexpected delight! 😋🌿

[@gcxred4kat9]

I'm in St Pete, can't wait to visit! I'm in The Florida Native Plant Society... so glad you touched on the importance of natives. I live on a 26 acre condo complex, am in charge of all the landscaping and give foraging tours. You mentioned Bidens alba and thought you might want to know it's edible and medicinal. During the Civil War they used it heavily as an antiseptic, also cures a dry cough. Foraging is a lost art. I also did not know papaya leaves are edible, thanks!

[@StacksUrbanHarvest]

Great! I didn't know that about the Civil War and Bidens alba, but did know about it being medicinal. You could stay at the Pike's AirBnB, and take their Sunday tour, and bring a bucket to collect cuttings. Here's their AirBnB link: abnb.me/e/f1MMaBL35Fb

So glad you enjoyed it! Amanda and I are in the planning stages of doing a farm-to-table food prep series. She's amazing!

[@aroshakottege9238]

My paternal grandparents’ place was a food forest! With more than 40 types of fruits! (many exotic fruits). I used to always go looking for fruits there! This is in Sri Lanka

[@StacksUrbanHarvest]

What a great memory! Sounds like that made a powerful impression on you.

Don’t discard the rind. Boil and make juice. Yummy

[@rosinhernandez5974]

Love this video. Is a shame of me that I have for 20 yrs 5 acres and have one lemon tree not planted. We tried to grow pumpkins and deers ate the pumpkin, leaves, stems and finally the roots. We tried to have chickens and raccoons chaps their head. Now we growing passion fruits and squirrels are eating the skin and no mention deers are finishing them.😢😢😢 I like what Amanda said how she thanks the family that had this land with so many fruits, now people just wide out lands. Thanks for this video.

[@StacksUrbanHarvest]

I'm glad you enjoyed this, and I hope you have some ideas and inspiration. 💚🌿

[@lauramac4846]

Please share that moringa pesto recipe!!!

[@StacksUrbanHarvest]

Okay. I'll let you know when she responds.

[@StacksUrbanHarvest]

Amanda said, "Any standard pesto recipe would work. Just blanch moringa and use it instead of or with basil."

[@YardeningwithAnne]

They can plant datura which is tomato horn/sphinx moth host plants

[@StacksUrbanHarvest]

Good to know! Thanks!

[@msdramamusic]

What was the plant she says is like Earl grey tea?

[@StacksUrbanHarvest]

I've been meaning to ask Amanda the spelling on that one. I'll let you know as soon as I get a reply from her.

Moujean Tea

What's climate in your Paradies (temperture all year around)

[@StacksUrbanHarvest]

Hardiness zone 11a, with mild winters, and temperatures mostly in the upper 90°F's in the summer.

[@StacksUrbanHarvest]

The Pike family is about 60 miles north of me at zone 10b.
