Follow me on my journey of growing and preserving home grown food and pretty flowers from my NJ 7a/7b backyard garden. I started with one very large and oversized raised garden bed that quickly evolved into 3. Over the course of 3 years, my garden space turned into over 400 square feet of raised brick beds, containers, inground, and even rock wall space. My garden brings me peace, calmness, and pride, knowing that I’m able to feed my family homegrown organic produce.
@@SteffaniesJourney thanks Steffanie. I should have specified that they had to start changing color already. Its mostly my preference for them redden on the vine though because they tend to start getting soft soon after picking.
@@bettydenis3858 so these come up on their own and is called pigweed. It’s a type of amaranth like callaloo. I have eaten it before but my friend had shared a video where someone said not to eat them but it is fine to eat those as well as the ones you start from seed.
I'm in Atlanta Georgia. I plant callallo, basil, corn, sage, fennel, rosemary, pepper, thyme,. My neighbor is from Cambodia. They have sugar cane, fever grass, ceresse, and gully beans.
@@IrieGardens thanks. My neighbor has a fully bean tree in his back yard and doesn't know how it got there. But the neighbor across the street is also Cambodian and has several trees in his backyard. So apparently the birds must have dispersed the seeds in his. Lol. It dies down in the winter, but if the winter is not severe it will come back the next year. They don't eat it much, but work with Jamaicans who buy them for $5 a pound. They must have brought the ceresse from Cambodia
@@donovanembden8737 omg wow!! I wasn't familiar with the name gully bean so i looked it up and it's what we call susumba in Jamaica. I love it with salt fish. What's your zone? Maybe I can try growing it here
I planted them in this video. Everything I did is covered in there. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ozKweYWbPAI.htmlsi=NqhsdJ-7Vujb1M65
@@tinatriestoplan8316 I use this area just to store them until I’m able to clean them up for long term storage so no more than a week. I have windows infront that gives good ventilation
