Show Notes
Foraging and Perennial Gardening on your Homestead.
This week I visit with Roxanne Ahern (Happyholistichs on Twitter) about her book:
Holistic Homesteading - A guide to a Sustainable and Regenerative Lifestyle (physical book), and Kindle.
We talk extensively about foraging and perennial gardening on your homestead.
I like this book because it has a nice balance of permaculture, gardening, foraging, wildcrafting, and cooking. The pictures are fantastic and pop off the page.
It's the "weeks of want", the end of February and early March. Before supermarkets, this time would have seen a gap between the end of the stored food and the new greens or crops of Spring.
We share our favorite perennials to forage:
Henbit/dead nettle
Chicory
Purslane
Plantain
Dandelions
Nettles
We also share what we are planting in the gardening in the coming year:
Asparagus
Jerusalem artichokes
Squash
Mortgage lifter tomatoes
